The Nevada Artists Association presents featured artists William and Rosalie More for the "Spring has Sprung" show. Both William and Rosalie are photographers that highlight nature at it's finest!
Bill More has always enjoyed interacting with many species of wildlife as a rancher and river guide in Oregon. After retirement, he moved to Nevada with his wife, Rosalie. The main reason was for the opportunity to photograph the abundant wildlife in this state. He is fascinated to observe how wildlife can adapt to mankind’s encroachment on their habitat.
A few of Bill’s wildlife photos have been on display at the Carson Medical Group’s buildings in Carson City since 2017. As a result, his photo of two mustang stallions fighting in the Virginia Range ended up on the cover of the 2018 Carson City phone book. This exposure resulted in great advertisement for his photo and calendar sales. Each of Bill’s photographs comes with a Certificate of Authenticity on the backside.
Rosalie More comes from a family of artists, all self-taught. She began accumulating awards for her watercolor art in the 1970’s as a member of the Southern Oregon Society of Artists. During the 1980’s, as a member of the Watercolor Society of Oregon, she won the Bronze, the Silver, and the Gold Certificates of Merit Awards for Outstanding Achievement.
She was also the recipient of Milford Zornes’ Special Award, the Winter Burrow Award and the Maxine Masterfield Award. Her works have been displayed at the State Capitol Building in Salem, OR, the Hult Center in Eugene, OR, and the Benton County Historical Museum. For many years, she owned the Spectrum of Arts Gallery in Ashland, Oregon. Her works of art are included in more than 150 private and corporate collections. After moving to Nevada, Rosalie developed a passion for photographing the natural world and the wildlife that inhabits it.
