Paul Moore is a fifth generation Oklahoma native and is a member of the Creek Nation. In fact, Moore’s fascination for Native American culture goes back to his grandfather, who knew Quanah Parker and regaled Paul with stories about the legendary chief. Moore combined his love of history with art and decided to devote his career to producing sculpture of the American West. He spent many years in Santa Fe, New Mexico refining his talent and returned to Oklahoma in 1997 to re-establish the figurative sculpture program at the University of Oklahoma at the behest of University President David Boren.
