Gordon Moffett

“The making of myth has long been an accepted, allegorical method of expressing reality.”  Gordon Moffett works in many media—oils, acrylics, pastels, pen and ink, charcoal, printmaking, carving—whatever best expresses the thought, idea or dream and creates a mythical, mystical illusion of reality.  

Themes in Moffett’s works are the emotions of the human condition.  Innocence, abandonment, loneliness, love, universal suffering, change and growth, birth and death all find magical expression.  Moffett encourages viewers to find personal meaning in his works, and to join in the creation of myth.

Gordon Moffett holds a BA in Art and English from Kentucky Southern College in Louisville, Kentucky and an MA in Art from Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois.  He is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Art History at the University of Louisville.  He teaches art and art history at Ivy Tech College in Indiana and at Jefferson Community College in Louisville.  Moffett lives and works in Louisville, Kentucky, and together with his wife, invite guests to stay with them at Gallery House, which is both a Bed and Breakfast and Art Gallery showcasing his work and their art collection.
