My name is Monte M. Moore and I have been a full time working professional artist for 30 years. Currently I’m the official/Exclusive artist for Lucasfilm for their fine art series for The Mandalorian (Star Wars) streaming hit and now working on the first two paintings for Paramount’s “Yellowstone” series. I’ve had 9 books published of my art and sculpture and my list of clients includes Coors, NASCAR Jose Cuervo, Espolon Tequila, the National Finals Rodeo, Boy Scouts of America, Barrett-Jackson Auto Auctions and many others. My story and background is quite unique because even though I’m well known as an illustrator for top-tier companies, my background comes from growing up on a working 30K acre cattle ranch and my family are fourth generation ranchers and we continue that tradition today raising cattle, bison and pork. My father was a pioneer in the natural and organic beef business in Colorado having supplied the US Olympic Teams for 25 years with all their beef in Colorado Springs and Lake Placid Training Centers. I also promote my work through high profile events and juried shows such as the Arizona Fine Art Expo, Cheyenne Frontier Days and have had tremendous success and sales at the Cowboy Christmas Event during the recent NFR shows in Las Vegas and Fort Worth the last 5 years. Over the past 20 years I’ve taken workshops from notable artists John Seerey-Lester, Carl Brenders, Alan Hunt, Morton Solberg Jr, Dustin Van Wechel, Mark Boedges and Rod Lawrence and recently Master Sculptor John Coleman. My work is currently represented by the licensing firm Wild Wings which licenses my wildlife and western themed art to commercial clients in a variety of industries. A hallmark of my work is a wide range of both media and surface as I draw, paint and sculpt and I build all my own custom frames built to my customer’s preference and style. In 2024 I was selected to provide the 100th Anniversary Poster art for Idaho’s most prestigious rodeo the Caldwell Night Rodeo, which is ranked as one of America’s top 10 rodeo events in the country.
Past and ongoing exhibitions include a variety of art shows including the Spirit of the West Art Show in Wyoming, as well as a semi-permanent exhibition of over 20 pieces of Western and Native American themed pieces at the new Cheyenne Airport main terminal. In 2023 I was featured in the March issue of Art of the West magazine with a four-page feature focusing on artists like myself who started out as commercial illustrators and who have moved more into fine art. Many illustrators like myself added the ‘fine art’ branch to their artistic offerings including Remington, Russell and McCarthy who all created commercial art for a variety of clients and publications. Last year I was selected for “The Great 48” – 48 top contributors in their chosen fields by Phoenix Home and Garden magazine, as I am a part time resident of both Colorado and Arizona. I am also the sole founder and admin for “True Fans of Western Art – Official” the largest and fastest growing Western Art Group in all of social media, with currently 219K members and our membership grows by several hundred members a day on a regular basis. My art has also been seen in industry magazines such as Cowboys and Indians, Western Art Collector and my commercial illustrations have been seen in Time, Newsweek and USA Today. I have a BFA in Fine Art from Colorado State University and won a Silver Award from the Art Director’s Club of Denver.

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.
