ABOUT ME

I’m Em Power Moore, a maker, content creator and arts educator. My name is both my name and a positive sentence starter: empower more… and it’s true I love empowering more art making in others. That’s what I do. Empower more art making through Em Power Moore Art.

I grew up travelling the world, a true global citizen, living in Papua Guinea, Canada and Indonesia before returning to my roots in Melbourne, Australia. I started art teaching in 1996 after studying a Bachelor of Education in Visual Arts at The University of Melbourne and had my first solo art exhibition of Textile Sculpture the same year. In 2002 I completed my Masters of Education in Arts Administration. My passion for the Arts and Education has seen me work across Primary, Secondary and Tertiary education as well as in art centres, galleries, theatre venues, festivals and events.

As well as being an award winning arts educator I have worked in the Arts Industry as an Arts Programming Director, Marketing and Development Manager, Education Officer, Venue and Gallery Manager and as an Artist and Performer.

Since 2011 I have been sprinkling art joy in primary schools where I currently teach art to almost 500 students a week. I live in Melbourne’s vibrant and multicultural inner west with my husband, teenagers and dog. I love swimming outdoors, yoga, exploring nature and art galleries, wearing colourful fashion and listening to soul, indie and 80’s music and entertaining podcasts. I also have a guilty pleasure for watching TV talent and design competitions.

I also share my love of arts education online on Tik Tok, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and YouTube as Em Power Moore Art

I love building, making, creating and the way it makes me feel great. Art isn’t just about the end product or selling work it can just be for the fun.
