Her parents, Eira (a dancer and choreographer) and Leslie Moore (a painter) were well known in Barry. Her Father was the Vice Principal of the famous Barry Summer School an international arts school held annually during the 1960s and 70s.  Moore grew up surrounded and influenced by some the most famous artists and painters of all here, in Barry and Wales.
