A Dallas artist, Moses studied art at The University of Texas/Arlington, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting and Illustration in 1970. Since that time his focus has developed a broad spectrum of styles, including contemporary as well as impressionist style works.

 

"I always think of my art as contrasts. Contrasts of colors, contrasts of visuals, contrasts of themes. It is one of the things I like most about my work.  However, at one point in my career, I stopped and asked myself, 'What is the consistency in my ART?' I couldn’t see any. I would paint this, then I would paint that…whimsical cats one day, Pissaro influenced pastorals the next then back to abstracts, oh, then on to untied tennis shoes. They seemed to have no connection; they were just things that I wanted to paint.

 

"Things that were fun to paint.

"In the mid 1980’s, a remarkably kind and knowledgeable Dallas art consultant once gave me the greatest art advice I ever received. "Develop a style," she said ever so matter-of-factly. I remember thinking, "I have a style" and I was a little hurt that she didn’t see it. At the time, I was painting pretty but not very memorable abstracts. Hell, they were selling quite well, that had to account for something.


"Of course, I took her information as I do all information and stored it for posterity. Some fifteen years later, I now know what she meant. And really, thanks to her incredible advice, I set a goal for which to aim. I now have at long last developed what one reviewer called "a highly recognizable style." But for me, my "style" is not just the bright colors and simple shapes in most of my works, or the fact that the objects are heavily outlined in black. Or that my work is all over-sized. Nor is it that my work is of everyday things.

 

"Diversity. That is the true representation of my style.

"So, I don’t and won’t limit myself to just "a" style. I don’t enjoy painting Japanese Ikebana-influenced flowers all the time, so I don’t. Sometimes my animal paintings get on my own nerves. That’s ok these days because I can always paint something else. I just don’t take my work or myself too seriously…and in turn it has allowed me to enjoy, even love, my work instead of being my own worst critic.

"A Virgo, don’t you know."
