Rod Moore is the founder of Moore Art and the driving force behind its four distinct academies—Learn To Paint Academy, Figure Painting Academy, Sketchbook Academy, and the Artist Business Academy. As a self-taught artist turned internationally recognised teacher and art entrepreneur, Rod’s mission is simple yet powerful: to inspire people around the world to awaken their inner artist and live a more creative, fulfilling life.

Known for his friendly teaching style and down-to-earth approach, Rod created the Moore Method of Painting to make learning to paint accessible to everyone. Through his academies and online programs, he has helped over 120,000 students across the globe gain confidence with a brush and embrace the joy of painting. His lessons are practical, inspirational, and grounded in the belief that anyone can learn to paint with the right guidance and mindset.

Beyond teaching, Rod is an accomplished professional artist whose work is held in private & institutional collections in Australia and internationally. His passion lies in both traditional landscape and impressionist figurative painting, drawing on Australia’s rich painting heritage while embracing contemporary techniques. Whether painting, mentoring, or leading international art retreats, Rod brings authenticity, warmth, and vision to everything he does.

At the heart of Moore Art is Rod’s commitment to building a thriving global community of artists. Through his teaching, courses, writing, and mentorship, he continues to encourage others to live creatively, follow their artistic path, and grow in both skill and confidence.
