The artist loads her complex and seductive works with a range of stylistic and physical references to Color Field, Social Realist and Surrealist paintings; 1960s and 1970s counterculture graphics; 1970s feminist art; and bodily forms and fluids. Exploring the full capabilities of acrylic paint — what she calls the "ugly stepchild of oil paint" — Moyer often works on the floor, pouring, rolling, stippling, mopping and handworking the paint, as well as adding sections of glitter.
Moyer combines her interests in graphic design and painting in works that featured imagery from 1960s protest graphics, challenging divisions between abstract art and political content. Less explicit in their symbolism, her recent paintings picture mysterious, seductive spaces that assert their own politics of pleasure.
