Award winning artist Stacey Moore specialises in pencil drawings of the wildlife and animals that have surrounded her life in the rural Yorkshire dales village of Hawes. The first Stacey Moore gallery was opened in Hawes in 2016 and with growing success Stacey has won awards, featured at Countryfile Live, supported charities through the sale of special art works and opened her second gallery in the marketplace in Richmond, North Yorkshire.
“I have always loved to draw and what started as a hobby while studying at Lancaster University became a real passion and I was soon drawing commission pieces and selling my work. In 2016 I took the decision to realise a long-held dream and become a full-time artist and in the spring of that year I was delighted to be able to open my first gallery in my hometown of Hawes. My second gallery followed in 2019 in the historic market town of Richmond, North Yorkshire, and what started as a pop-up gallery is now a permanent feature in the town bursting with art and creative businesses.
With the picturesque views, vibrant communities and vast array of animals and wildlife right on my doorstep I am proud to called the Yorkshire Dales my home. There is inspiration at every turn and for that I feel very grateful. Working with coloured pencil allows me to show intricate detail and let the characters of the animals really shine through. I love the feel and control of drawing with pencil, the textures, vibrancy and detail I can achieve with this medium is like no other. With the two galleries being so busy I no can no longer take on commissions for pictures but your four legged friends are always welcome to come in for a browse with you.”
Stacey has had her work exhibited nationally and in 2017 was delighted to be recognised as one of Yorkshires leading wildlife artists. In 2018 Stacey was a finalist in the category “New Starter Business” at the Yorkshire Choice Awards and followed that up in 2019 by winning “Best Creative Business in the North” at the Rural Business Awards. That same year Stacey was interviewed on stage at Countryfile Live by Jules Hudson on the success of growing a rural business.
Throughout her career Stacey has supported the charities that mean the most to her, most notably the Yorkshire Dales National Park Red Squirrel Conservation, The Royal British Legion and Brooke Action for Working Donkeys and Mules.
