In the University of North Carolina Wilmington (UNCW) Creative Arts Dept., founded by legendary Wilmington, NC artist Claude Howell, then student Donna Moore served as Howell’s assistant. Today she mentors and teaches students to create their own unique relationship with art. “I graduated from UNCW with a commitment to the life-changing power the arts can bring to everyone, everywhere.”

For over 35 years, visual artist Donna Moore has facilitated a Life Drawing Studio in Wilmington, NC. “Energy captured in short-lived gesture through the tactile experience of drawing motivates me to constantly observe. There is beauty in every form. If a student enjoys mark-making, the visual world is infinitely obliging.”
