William Moyers was an early member of the Cowboy Artists of America, becoming a member in 1968. Born in Georgia in 1916, at the age of fourteen he went to Colorado, learned to be a cowboy, and paid his way through art school in California on the proceeds of his prowess. Moyers worked for Walt Disney before joining the army and moving to New York, where his career as an illustrator took off. In 1962, Moyers and his family moved to Albuquerque, where he exchanged illustration for fine art. Moyers once observed that he is drawn to the working cowboy as a subject because he is “a harmonious outgrowth of the environment. He accepts the action, weather, loneliness and responsibilities as normal existence.”
