Dottie Moore

Dottie Moore's tapestries traveled to many exciting places during her 40-year career as a textile artist, and found homes both across the United States and abroad. Her richly textured creations celebrate the mysteries of earth and sky and beg the viewer to pause and ponder their own existence in the larger scheme of creation.

Dottie's art career was filled with exhibits, commissions, teaching, lectures, publishing, hosting two Internet radio shows, and a twelve-year journey as founder and director of “Piecing a Quilt of Life,” an international project dedicated to documenting and celebrating the creative talents of other quilt artists over the age of fifty. She is author of Lives in Process: Creativity and the Second Fifty Years, a chapter author of Midlife Clarity, Epiphanies from Grown-Up Girls by Cynthia Black, Laura Carlsmith, and Jane Foley, and the illustrator for I Wish I Could Tell You, by Bob Tryanski.

In her wisdom years she chooses a quieter schedule and looks at life with a deeper perspective. At age 85, her more reflective pace leaves time for the joys of being a grandparent, gardening, and other simple pleasures. She still occasionally facilitates discussion groups for women in her home in Rock Hill, SC, writes, mentors, and shares her stories.
