Graphic representations of Arizona's unique plant life were the inspiration for his botanical themed panels, the first pieces created at The Oxide Studio. His photographic background influenced the choice to “frame” each design within the confines of a rectangle, producing a contemporary, somewhat formal presentation that contrasts well with the colors and organic forms in its environment.
The OXIDE studio has evolved over the years and Daniel Moore has been commissioned to create many works on all scales by over 100 private clients, both commercial and residential. His completed projects include classic sculptural pieces, memorable freestanding works, gateways, enclosures, furniture and more. All exploring and utilizing metal to combine iconic design that reflects a sense of timelessness and permanence while expressing the visions of the client.
The Oxide Studio is located at his home in the Willo Historic District in downtown Phoenix, which he shares with his wife Nina, youngest of three daughters, Sade, their two dogs, and Bazzi the cat.
