Dan Moore

Daniel Moore is a Phoenix-based metal artist and founder of The Oxide Studio. Originally from Iowa City, Iowa, he earned a BFA in Graphic Design and Photography from the University of Iowa, with minors in Ceramics and Metalwork/Jewelry. Inspired by Ansel Adams' photography and Arizona’s desert landscapes, Moore developed a creative practice rooted in the intersection of nature, design, and craftsmanship.

After being introduced to welding, he taught himself metal fabrication and founded The Oxide Studio in 2010. His work is known for contemporary botanical forms and sculptural installations that blend graphic composition with organic inspiration.

Moore has created commissioned works for residential, commercial, and civic spaces, including sculptures, architectural features, and public art installations. Since 2015, he has focused extensively on public art, with completed projects located throughout Arizona, as well as Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; Augusta, Georgia; Henderson, Nevada; and Memphis, Tennessee.
