My Story

Cellerini Moore is a self-proclaimed space maker who nerds out about the impact of color, texture, light and space in art. Cellerini Moore’s artistic research celebrates play, champions artistic and scientific inquiry, and encourages wonder and awareness.

Because Cellerini Moore does not believe artists are immune from responsibly powering their multimedia installations, they endeavor to build and utilize green energy as often as possible. Cellerini Moore’s projects are often collaborative and created in partnership with students and peers, as well as scientists from institutions around the globe including the University of Washington, the University of Iceland, Oregon State University, Willamette University, The Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and BioPol Laboratories in Iceland. ​

Cellerini Moore’s work is exhibited internationally. Her solo and collaborative projects have been awarded funding from the Work College Consortium, Climate Action Now, The Ford Family Foundation, The Oregon Arts Commission, and The Gretchen Schuette Endowment. In partnership with The Art Center, Glint, Glimmer, Glow received a grant from Pacific Power, which funded the collaboration with the Oregon State University College of Engineering capstone students to build a renewable energy system to power the exhibition.​
