Robert was born in 1957 in Burley, Idaho. He was raised near the Snake River which sparked his appreciation for nature. Robert Moore is a contemplative, quiet individual. At a young age he discovered art as a way to freely express his feelings.

He then received a full scholarship to attend The Art Center College of Design in California. He majored in illustration, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and graduating with honors. Robert prefers painting on location to best express the immediate impression of each subject. His use of vivid colors and frequent high-keyed values reveal a spiritually inspired joy.
