Collection: Alther, William

William Alther grew up in West Texas, where at an early age he developed an endless fascination with the landscape and its creatures. A degree in wildlife biology from Texas A&M University eventually led to a position in the zoology department at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, which Alther held for thirteen years. Throughout, he was an active artist, and he began painting full-time in 2004.

Alther’s work has been featured in Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art Collector, and Cowboys and Indians Magazine. His paintings are in the collections of the National Museum of Wildlife Art, the Woodson Art Museum, the Brinton Museum, and the Woolaroc Museum.

He has received awards including the Red Smith Artist’s Choice Award at the National Museum of Wildlife Art’s Western Visions Show, the Trustee Purchase Award at the 2021 Western Visions Show, the Founders Award of Merit at the Northwest Rendezvous Group’s Bighorn Rendezvous, and the President’s Award of Excellence at the Oil Painters of America’s National Exhibition.

Current galleries include Legacy Gallery, Scottsdale, Arizona; Oh Be Joyful Gallery, Crested Butte, Colorado; Pitzers Fine Art, Wimberley, Texas; and Turner Fine Art, Jackson, Wyoming.

Alther lives in Denver with his wife, Debbie.
