A unique challenge Moore faces as an artist is that he is colorblind. Although he did not realize he was colorblind until he enlisted in the Army, Moore learned to use his colorblindness in his art. His vision physically shakes looking at certain colors next to each other; this is called "Color Vibration." In addition to overcoming his PTSD, he is courageous enough to paint what he sees, not what he thinks everyone else sees. Rendered through soft pastel from some of his own military photos, "The Art of War" is an 18-piece exhibit of images through the colorblind eyes of this eclectic war veteran. Sgt. Phillip Scott Moore shares his story with us about his time overseas through his photos and his paintings. Moments in time that were captured are explained through subtle wording and relentless color schemes. Phillip hopes to inspire other veterans to seek their joy and happiness.
