The cultural values, and faith instilled throughout his Amish upbringing are all direct influences in the refined pencil work of Andy Mast. Realizing his passion for drawing at an early age, he honed his artistic skills, drawing deep into the night under lantern light following long days on the family farm. Longing for a mentor and craving constructive critique, his hard work and intense passion for creating art, from simple moments in life, quickly became a catalyst for maturing as a professional artist despite his exposure to formal training. At the young age of 17, tragedy struck Mast, when suffering a horse related traumatic brain injury that plunged him into a five-year journey engulfed by overwhelming disability and darkness. Through this dibilitating time, drawing became his sanctuary. His innate “God Given” talent became a refuge allowing him to express his despair, yet experience hope beyond it. Despite this challenging journey, Mast continually strives to communicate emotionally, through the language of art, evoking courage, peace, hope, and healing through his exceptional artwork.
An internationally recognized pencil artist, Mast, established his career earning numerous awards, publications, and exhibitions in prestigious venues of western art. Notably, two-time best pencil award at the Western Spirit Art Show, recently featured in a personal article by American cowboy icon Kent Rollins, features by Uni-ball pen company. Publication highlights include Western Art Collector, Cowboys, and Indians, Journal of American Veterinary Medical Association, magazine cover two times. Painting World Magazine, Western Art and Architecture, April 2023. Career achievement exhibitions include Night Lights Denver historic clock tower projection; pioneering this modern art presentation, as the first western pencil artist digitally projected over downtown Denver during the National Western Stockshow, in January 2023. He has also been invited to multiple exhibitions at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, Small Works Great Wonders, Art Show & Sale, in Oklahoma City, as well as, the Old West Museum, Cheyenne Frontier Days art show, Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Broadmoor Galleries in Colorado Springs is proud to present “Moore Art: A Family Affair,” an exhibition that showcases the unique artistic styles of American impressionist artist Robert Moore, and his two children, Anna, and Robbie Moore. Robert, who is colorblind and paints with both hands simultaneously, has established himself as a prominent figure in the art world, and his children have followed in his footsteps.
Robert Moore, a celebrated American painter who is colorblind and paints with both hands simultaneously, is known for his signature landscapes, cityscapes, and portraits. The exhibition will showcase a range of Moore’s works alongside those of his talented children.
“Moore Art: A Family Affair” is a unique opportunity to experience the work of three incredibly talented artists from the same family,” said Broadmoor Galleries director, Jamie Oberloh. “Robert Moore’s impressionistic style is a true representation of the beauty and diversity of America, and his children Anna and Robbie are following in his footsteps with their own unique styles and techniques.”
Robert Moore’s artistic achievements are all the more remarkable given that he is colorblind. Despite this, he has become known for his ability to create vivid and striking color palettes in his paintings. He has also developed a unique technique of painting with both hands simultaneously, which allows him to create intricate details and textures in his works.
Moore’s use of both hands to paint has been compared to the way a pianist uses both hands to play a complex piece of music. This technique requires a great deal of focus and coordination, and it has become one of Moore’s signature methods.
Moore’s colorblindness has also influenced his work in other ways. He has said that he is drawn to painting landscapes because he is able to see the world in shades of green, which he can differentiate more easily than other colors. This has led him to develop a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature and the environment.
Despite his colorblindness and unique painting technique, Robert Moore has become one of America’s most beloved impressionist painters. His works continue to inspire and captivate viewers, and his contributions to American art are truly remarkable.
Anna Moore, a professional artist in her own right, draws inspiration from her father’s work and her surroundings, using her skillful brushstrokes to capture the essence of nature in her landscapes. She works in a variety of media, including oil painting, watercolor, and printmaking. Her work is inspired by the natural beauty of the American West and the people and places that inhabit it.
Robbie Moore, who recently graduated with a Finance degree from the University of Arkansas, has always had a passion for art and the natural world. He has developed his skills in drawing, gouache, watercolor, and oil painting, and his work has been featured in a company calendar commissioned by his employer. With his father’s legacy of developing artists and a lineage of artists in his family, Robbie’s future aspiration is to make the most out of his upbringing and create a name for himself in the art world.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase the work of three incredibly talented artists,” said Broadmoor Galleries’ director, Jamie Oberloh. “The combination of Robert’s impressionistic paintings with Anna and Robbie’s unique styles and mediums creates a truly exceptional exhibition that will delight and inspire our visitors. Their paintings are a true representation of the beauty and diversity of America, and we are honored to share the work with our community.”
The exhibition will be open to the public from May 18th, 2023, through June 8th, 2023, and will feature a special reception on May 18th, 2023, from 4-8 pm, where visitors can meet the artists and enjoy light refreshments. All works in the exhibition will be available for sale.
