OPen studios tour

I hope you’ll stop by The Knoll on October 4 and 5th, from 10am to 4pm, for the Oregon City Open Studios Tour.

I’m combining my annual holiday show with this event, so I hope you’ll stay and have a hot cider and a sweet treat.

The entire self-guided tour, of which I am a part, stretches across Oregon City and is a great opportunity to meet and shop directly from the local art scene, all while getting a peek into the artists’ creative spaces.

I’ll open my studio to new paintings, new leatherworks, and as always, exciting copper creations. I’m bringing back the salmon, with some new designs for home and garden!

I plan to have a series of ocean wave cards on hand for you folks who still believe a handwritten note is the BEST kind of note! 

RECENT WORK - The Wild West Collection

I am excited to present a small sampling of my most recent body of work, “The Wild West” painted from 2022 - 2025. From recent travels through Mexico, Arizona, California, Washington and Oregon, this series of original pastel paintings are all done on 18” x 24” or 19” x 25” LaCarte sanded paper using chalk pastel. Unframed and available for shipping. This is an ongoing series of paintings. Inquire at carriemoorestudios5@gmail.com.

RECENT WORK - Riding the Rugged Wild Wave Collection

A native of Lunada Bay in Palos Verdes Estates California, I’ve lived now in Oregon for 41 years. This continuing series of the West Coast Waves are painted on panels and finished in cold wax, framed in alder wood floater frames without the need for glass. Once signed by Carrie, they are easily shipped and ready to hang upon arrival. Ranging in size from 20” x 20” to 30” x 60”, each piece is inspired by travels to beaches of my youth. Commissions available.
