About Maurice "MOE." Brandford,
Jr.
Maurice Bradford Jr. better known as MOE. is a native of
Baltimore, Maryland who researches historical and modern art from
different countries to create masterpieces of creativity. Using oil
paints, acrylic, gouache, charcoal and other mediums, Maurice continues
to build a portfolio of fine and commercial artwork.
His art explores mature topics based on man vs. God, men vs. women, life
vs. death and other themes involving the adversities and pleasures in
life. From elementary school to his adult college career, Maurice
Bradford has shown the Baltimore community that art is a beautiful
creation when practiced and perfected.
In 1994, his parents enrolled him into the Super Saturday Art Program at
The Baltimore City College High School. During his Saturday visits,
Maurice met and befriended his mentor Mr. Larry “Poncho” Brown. Poncho
continues to teach Maurice the basics of creating artwork, which lead to
many awards and recognitions.
While attending Carver Center for Arts and Technology High School,
Maurice was able to participate in several art competitions. In 1997,
Maurice was awarded two prizes, the grand prize for the Artistic Legacy
African American Youth Art Exhibition and a medal for his submission in
the NAACP/ACT-SO competition. Again in 1999 and 2000, Maurice received
the award-winning medal from the NAACP-ACT-SO competition.
By 2002, Maurice was a well-known, award-winning artist. In 2002,
Maurice was acknowledged as Youth Artist of the Year by the African
American Visual Arts Association (AAVAA). This award was a prophecy that
Maurice was destined to conquer the art world with his ultimate
creativity and eye for beauty.
Maurice continued his art education by pursing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA)
at Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland. With a
concentration in painting and web design, Maurice is learning how to
apply art to the needs of society. As an entrepreneur and profound
artist, Maurice is only at the beginning of his journey in the art
world.
“I love the versatility in the creative process
of making art,” says Maurice Bradford, Jr.
