William
Alther is a representational painter working primarily in oil. He has been an
active artist, either part-time or full-time, for more than 25 years and has advanced
his artistic development through workshops and classes at the Rocky Mountain School
of Art & Design and the Denver Art Students League. "Perhaps my most
beneficial training has come from friendships and painting sessions with other
artists. I nearly always learn something from hanging around with them, whether
they're nationally prominent or just starting out." Additionally, his interest
and background in natural sciences, including a degree in wildlife biology and
12 years as a zoologist at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, serves him
well with valuable insight for rendering convincing images of the natural world.
"I am most attracted to landscape and wildlife subjects, which often go hand
in hand. But I don't want to be limited. Anything I find compelling is a possibility
for a painting." |
