Art, Artifacts and Arrowheads

A collection of Monty Moore, shared by his daughter to keep his memory and his legacy alive.

Raised on a cattle ranch in west Texas, Monty spent many years on horseback, hearing tall tales from his elders of way of the West and passing the time collecting arrowheads (on display).  He also watched his mother, Doris, paint the scenes of the West and bring her love of the land and the history it held to the canvas.

That curiosity grew as he did, beginning his lifelong journey into mystical and spiritual growth through an appreciation of American Indians and his cowboy upbringing. He didn’t want to be a cowboy when he grew up, but the legend lived on in his heart.

His favorite artists were those either from or with Texas roots or those with a connection to the tribes of ancient Americas, Southwest America and New Mexico. He loved to meet the artists and most of the time became dear friends with them, bringing them home for dinner and letting them find a place for their art on the walls of his home.
