Biography

Moira Cue (American, b. 1975) is recognized for her large-scale, predominately black and white abstract oil paintings consisting of overlapping layers of multiple translations of a single virtuous word or phrase.

The backgrounds of her highly charged, expressionistic panels frequently contain underpaintings of various leaf imprints, smeared biological material; raw gestures such as cuts, stabs, and scribbles; and fine particles of dirt and detritus.

Her signature style evolved from a lifetime of study and practice, and offers a positive, contemplative space for today’s global community.
