Every artist has a “visual voice” that is uniquely theirs. The challenge is learning how to recognize it, develop it, and trust it.
In this event, you will explore what it really means to find your voice as an artist. You will learn how your style, subject matter, life experiences, creative instincts, and repeated choices all work together to shape the art only you can make.
You will also discover how to stop second-guessing every decision, comparing your work to everyone else’s, or feeling like you need to “have it all figured out” before you can move forward.
Join us for an encouraging, practical conversation that will help you recognize your own unique voice as an artist.
You will learn how to:
- Recognize the clues already showing up in your work
- Distinguish between healthy inspiration and copying
- Build confidence in your creative decisions
- Develop your voice without forcing it
- Trust the slow, imperfect process of becoming the artist you are meant to be
Bring your questions, your curiosity, and your coffee.
Join us and take one more step toward making art that feels more honest, more personal, and more fully your own.
🎟 Tickets ONLY $19 | FREE for Mastrius Members

Meet Larry Moore
Acrylic | Mixed Media | Oil | Watercolor
Larry Moore has been a professional visual communicator for the past 45 years, working from his roots as a mural and apparel artist in the surf industry into graphic design, advertising, illustration, and fine art, achieving national recognition for his work in each of these areas of visual communication.
He has been a college and workshop instructor since 1990 and has just published a successful book on creativity for artists titled Fishing for elephants: Insights and exercises to inspire authentic creativity.
The series I’ve been working on over the last 7 years is called “Intrusion”, it is an exploration, either in gouache for smaller works or oil for larger pieces, of our relationship to the planet and ultimately with ourselves. The series most often asks the question, “Who is intruding on whom?” Initially, the work implied a post-apocalyptic world where animals reclaimed their now unnatural habitats, but it has since grown into more allegorical narratives of the human condition.
I’ve tapped into my extensive experiences as a graphic designer, illustrator and, plein air painter to address stories that are important to me. After my years participating in plein air events, I knew that I wanted to do more editorial work and sought out a narrative that was authentic to me. My love for the environment lead the way. The pieces often present scenarios that are possible but, not plausible, depictions of animals in abandoned spaces. I’ve followed the work rather than directing it and have ventured into animals invading abstract backgrounds which is a nod to my graphic design days.
