Dr. Roger Moore

Roger Moore was born on an apple farm in Pompey Hollow. He began drawing and painting his surroundings at the age of seven or eight. He graduated from Cazenovia High School, where he studied under nationally acclaimed watercolorist Merrill A. Bailey (1909-1981).

Moore earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from Syracuse University in 1952, and he was pursuing a master’s degree in art when he was drafted as a foot soldier into the Korean War.

He spent two years in Korea before returning home and starting a pre-med course at SU. After graduating from medical school in Syracuse and completing a family practice residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Moore and his family moved to Clinton, where he practiced medicine for nearly 40 years.

His artistic interests include set design for opera and musical theater, stained glass, small watercolors, and painting - primarily in oils. He has completed more than 820 oils and 2000 small watercolors.

Moore’s artwork has been exhibited across Central New York and has received several awards. He is represented in numerous permanent collections, including Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute, Niagara Mohawk Corporation, Kirkland Art Center and Cazenovia College

Roger is President Emeritus of the Clinton Symphony Orchestra of the Mohawk Valley.
