ATLANTA — Atlanta graphic designer John-Paul Moore says heβs more than someone who makes art, heβs a storyteller.
He uses his talents to create works of art celebrating the lives of beloved people who have passed away.
βThese tributes are a way to keep their legacy alive, so theyβre not forgotten,β Moore told Channel 2β²s Berndt Petersen.

Through his gift of graphic design, Moore celebrates their lives and the lives of dozens of others weβve all known and loved, like James Earl Jones, Frankie Beverly and Channel 2β²s Jovita Moore.
βThis is my most recent design,β Moore said during a visit Friday to the WSB-TV studios in midtown Atlanta. He wanted to honor Channel 2β²s beloved anchor on what would have been her 57th birthday.
βI really love the fact that she looks so happy. It tells a great story of her life,β Moore said of the print he created.
He wanted the WSB-TV family to have one of them.

βHappy birthday. She loved her birthday,β WSB-TV News Director Suzanne Nadell said.
The piece of art will now have a place in the WSB-TV Newsroom.
It has been nearly three years since we lost Jovita to a rare form of brain cancer, but her spirit is still with us.
βI just think itβs important that we never forget her and we keep her memory alive, and celebrate the beautiful person she was inside and out. Sheβs a treasure, definitely an Atlanta, Georgia and American treasure,β Moore said.
