Christine Adele Moore booth featuring “Calm” mixed media painting and other artwork.

Varying my styles keeps the work fresh, not getting mired down in repetition. I consider myself as having three styles of work, though I maintain that all reflect my personality and sensibilities.

The three styles being:

Heavily textured and layered botanicals and trees,
Abstract, many-layered resins,
Mixed media oil and resin work.

“Calm” is an example of the mixed media oil and resin. The choice to paint this Buddha was, I suppose, as an extension of my transcendental meditation practice and a way to remind myself to feel composed prior to such an undertaking as a road trip across the country for so many shows. It is also being calm in the chaos of the modern world with all of the many distractions that bombard the mind. I find the eyes being partially open as a symbol of awareness of circumstances while holding on to inner peace.

Contact if interested in “Calm.”

“Some technique of meditation is practiced in virtually every community throughout the world. An ancient tradition, meditation is as relevant in today’s busy world as it ever was. It can lead us to discover a sense of calmness and inner harmony and can help us cope with the pressures of everyday life. Meditation cuts across different religions and cultures. It’s less about the faith we subscribe to and more about becoming more mindful, focused, and peaceful; more aware of our thoughts, speech, and actions; and more attuned to how our choices affect others.
Today’s busy schedules seem tailor-made for a buildup of stress. Meditation is a very grounded and effective way to relieve stress while also promoting self-awareness. Just as there are many different reasons why people meditate, there are many different kinds of meditation. Knowing something about them can help us choose which ones are right for us.”
