Anna Leigh Moore

I’m a Utah-based painter who finds inspiration in the untamed lands of the West. 

My work explores both the eternal and fleeting aspects of the landscape, and how our experience shapes them. 

BIO:

After graduating college in 2013, Anna took a job as a railcar porter on a westbound train. It was from that blurred train window that she first witnessed the shimmering sage, ragged mountains, and sun-bleached deserts of the West. Hailing from the soft forests of Pennsylvania, she’d never experienced a landscape so boundless. The magnetic pull she felt was undeniable. Promptly after that trip, she moved to Granby Colorado where the mountains and high desert became her new home. 

Putting her Journalism and Fine Art degree on pause, she chased a seasonal lifestyle of ski-bumming and adventure tour-guiding across the American West. This era allowed for greater exploration of wild lands and ignited a passion for backcountry skiing, rock climbing and mountain biking, giving her new ways to experience the landscape. 

In 2018, she dedicated herself to the path to becoming a professional artist in Park City, Utah. Painting allows her to share not only the beauty of the West, but the sublime joy and freedom only found in true wilderness. Her deep connection to the outdoors fuels her work and gives a greater purpose to her outdoor adventures. 

She currently shows at CreatePC and The Kimball Art Center, and participates in art festivals such as The Kimball Arts Festival and Art Fair Jackson Hole.
