Participants should bring their own materials, some paper and drawing media will be available.

Susan Moore is known for her long-time interest in painting the figure. Usually large-scale, Moore's paintings typically focus on portions of the body such as tightly cropped backs, torsos, or faces. Although she paints specific people, her work tends to reveal little about their personality allowing the viewer to inject their own interpretation. Moore's paintings are highly textural and layered with color to create a poetic balance between realism and abstraction.

Ms. Moore received her MFA from the University of California at Davis. She has received grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. She shows with the Locks Gallery in Philadelphia and is in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery and the Philadelphia Museum.

This event is organized by the Rose Lehrman Arts Center Gallery on the Harrisburg Campus of HACC and supported in part by the Pennsylvania Partners in the Arts (PPA), the regional arts funding partnership of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency. State government funding comes through an annual appropriation by Pennsylvania's General Assembly and from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency. PPA is administered in this region by Jump Street.

The event is free and open to the public, advance registration is necessary. To register please call Kim Banister at 717-780-2685.
