As her skills have developed over time, so too has her canvas.
While she still paints the faces of children and adults at parties, Mrs Moore is building a reputation for painting pregnant bellies.
It started when her sister and mother painted her belly for fun and it resulted in a bonding experience.
“I just thought how special it was,” she said.
“It’s a celebration of being pregnant.”
“It’s less about them posing and more about loving their body because in there is something special.”
Mrs Moore collaborates with the mothers about what image they want.
Her past work includes sunsets, animals and her first client in Wagga requested a scene from Winnie the Pooh.
Mrs Moore recently moved back to Wagga after five years away and is taking requests.
She can be contacted via Facebook at Kate’s Face and Body Art or kjlucy@bigpond.com.
