We had the good fortune of connecting with Diamond Moore and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Diamond, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
I pursued a creative career to freely express myself and work towards my happiness. Growing up I was told creative careers were not viable and I needed to be “something that made money.” I followed that path for awhile but in the end creating has brought me the most joy.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is a mix of emotions and child like wonder. Im constantly working through emotions day to day and the lines and colors are a way to release pent up anxiety. I use my work as a means to confront my own mental while also to show others that I can relate and youre not alone.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to thank all my friends who have supported me from the very start: Becca, Tavia, Penelope, Gabe and soo many more I cant begin to name. They not only encouraged me to keep pushing forward but they supported my art through its growing pains and gave me honest feedback.
