Lorne and Mary-Anne

The artwork of three generations of the Moore family are on exhibit at our artscentre: the traditional landscapes of Joseph George (J.G.) Moore, the films and mixed media of Lorne Moore and the paintings of Mary-Anne Moore.

What struck me was the influence of the group of seven on the paintings by JG Moore. He taught his son Lorne and grand-daughter Mary-Anne how to paint and do precise lettering by hand.

Lorne Moore’s work includes a documentary filmed on Salt Spring in 1977-79 and a more recent 55-minute billiards movie. In addition, Lorne exhibits surreal scenes created to look like film stills.

Mary-Anne Moore, who was born on Salt Spring, exhibits a selection of acrylic paintings on canvas or upcycled fabric.
