Original Expressions & Fine Art Reproductions
Welcome to the heart of the Moore Studio.
This space is dedicated to our original explorations in Soft Pastel and Watercolor, along with our curated collection of fine art reproductions. Here, the work of Michele and Phillip Moore moves beyond the "Art of War" series into a world of vibrant studies, delicate textures, and the raw beauty of the Florida landscape and Moore.

Phillip & Michele: Partners in Life, Art, and Healing
We are Phillip and Michele, a duo driven by a love for the "beautifully weathered." Our journey began with the Bone Boutique, where we found our niche crafting jewelry and sculptures from ethically sourced remains—finding life and art in what others might overlook.
A Path to Peace
A few years ago, our creative landscape shifted. What started as a simple search for connection at the North Port Art Center transformed into something much deeper. Stepping into the studio wasn't just about learning to paint; it was about discovering a new dialect for healing.
Art became our sanctuary. For Phillip, it offered a way to navigate the complexities of PTSD, translating his unique colorblind perspective into powerful visual stories. For Michele, the soft touch of pastels and the flow of watercolor provided a space to process the weight of grief after the loss of her mother.
Why We Share
The paints took hold of us, but the community kept us going. As our artistic voices blossomed, we realized that our "therapy" wasn't meant to be kept private. Images of Therapy was born from a mission to show that art isn't about perfection—it's about the release found in the process.
Today, whether we are out in the woods scouting for the Bone Boutique, in the studio working on our latest watercolor collection or painting with our plein air group, we are guided by the same belief: Everyone has an artist within.
Join the Adventure We invite you to look through our windows of well-being. From our archival prints to our "Supreme" notecards, every piece we offer is a milestone on our journey of resilience. We hope our work inspires you to pick up a brush, find your own "dash of courage," and discover the healing magic waiting in your own creative wellspring.
Let’s turn the canvas into a window of well-being, together.
