William Alther
William Alther is a representational painter who works primarily in oils. His professional background is in wildlife biology, and he spent twelve years as a zoologist at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Always an avid artist, Mr. Alther has pursued a career in painting for the past 25 years, studying fine art at the Rocky Mountain School of Art and Design and the Denver Art Students League. Regarding his art education, Mr. Alther states, "Perhaps my most beneficial training has come from friendships and painting sessions with other artists. I nearly always learn something from spending time with them, whether they are nationally known or just starting out."
Throughout his painting career, Mr. Alther's extensive knowledge of the wildlife of the Rocky Mountains has served both as a resource and an inspiration, allowing him key insights for rendering convincing images of the natural world. In speaking of his work, the artist observes, "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."
