Michael Yates. Star Moxley's "Picking Up: Color and Light" art talk at Surel's Place, Garden City, Idaho on December 8, 2019.
Artist Statement: I have been working as an artist all of my adult life, within the professional fields of theatre and visual art. My commitment to creating a vibrant community has been as much of a defining factor to my life, as the work I have produced. I am currently exploring a somewhat new venture and look forward to how it is received.
My love of color and light have led me to this medium and encaustic being the best way to exhibit it. Given my current limitations, following the stroke, I have picked up where I left off. Some work was done before the stroke with certain intentions and most are new and have their own essence. I truly hope you like and enjoy it -Star Moxley.
Star's career spans decades and her designs have manifested in many ways. Star has had a long career as a professional costume designer with Idaho Shakespeare Festival, Great Lakes Theatre, Lake Tahoe Festival, Idaho Youth Theatre, and Boise Contemporary Theatre.

She received the Mayor's Award for Excellence in the Arts from the Boise Arts Commission. Star is recognized as a fiber artist, who's work has been featured in exhibitions throughout the United States, and she has received numerous awards and commissions; her work is included in public and private collections including the permanent collection of the Boise Art Museum.
