Primarily self-taught, his career as a profession­al artist spans over four decades working as an illustrato­r, mural artist, scenic artist and entertainm­ent union executive. Yet, he somehow found time to create inventive hyperreali­stic Trompe l’Oeil and magical realism easel paintings for the “fine art” market.

Tired of playing the “starving artist,” Moffitt began working with noted muralist Garth Benton in the early ’70s to execute murals for the Getty Museum and numerous celebrity clients. His penchant for creating large-scale artwork eventually led him to the motion picture industry where he became the lead scenic artist for Warner

Bros. Studios. Designing and painting artwork for the studios for over 30 years, Moffitt’s backdrops, murals, portraits and fine artwork can be seen—or in some cases hidden in plain sight—in hundreds of Hollywood films, television programs and at themed venues located around the world. He’s also illustrate­d album covers and created graphic designs and logos for the recording industry, and painted murals for museums and libraries in the southern California area.

Retired from the entertainm­ent industry in 2014, Moffitt now devotes full time to creating his personal fine artwork. An exhibiting member of the Internatio­nal Guild of Realism and Oil Painters of America, he is currently represente­d by Bash Fine Art in Las Vegas and Gallery 800 in Los Angeles. Moffitt is slated to receive a Lifetime Achievemen­t Award at the Art Directors Guild

22nd annual Excellence in Production Design Awards in January 2018.
