Forrest Moses graduated from Washington and Lee University in 1956 with a Bachelor's in Fine Art. After graduation he entered the Navy, serving three years in the Far East where he was heavily influenced by the strong visual and philosophical disciplines of Japanese art. Moses later completed his graduate work at the Pratt Institute in New York, before taking a job as an interior designer in Houston. Three years later he moved to California in search of the renowned and inspiring natural landscape of Monterrey. With camera in hand, Forrest Moses explores the hidden and serene areas of our country collecting images of nature to be translated to canvas back in the studio. The Zen like serenity he conveys in his paintings is most notably influenced by his early travels to Japan. For Moses, object and space are important as every line has meaning and every brush stroke is intentional. He is a leading abstract painter of landscapes whose works are highly collected.
