In 2018, Moore was published in New American Paintings Issue #136, representing 1 of 40 emerging artists in the South, as well as featured in ArtMaze Magazine, London, U.K. She was the recipient of the Arthur Oswald Scholarship and Sam Fox School Travel Grant in 2019 to travel to Germany and Mexico researching natural fiber dye techniques and contemporary color theory.
