Nicolai Fechin Art for sale.  Charcoals, Drawings, Paintings at Parsons in Taos

Moyers graduated with a degree in fine arts from Adams State Teachers College in Alamosa, Co. in 1939.

 He went on to study at the Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles with E. Roscoe Shraeder.

"I paint what I do," Moyers said, "because I find the working cowboy, past and present,

such a harmonious outgrowth of his whole environment. He accepts the action, weather, loneliness, and responsibilities as a normal existence.

Too, there is a lot of nostalgia in it for me—a chance to recapture something of which I can no longer be a part."

He added, "When I was fourteen I had the fortune to come to the San Luis Valley of Colorado for a summer on a ranch.

"The basic elements of fear, conflict, hunger, need, and the effects of weather . . .anyone in the world during any age can understand".

"By about 1962, Western art mushroomed," he said,

 "and I started putting all my time into that, but I'm no missionary. The West is a real part of my life."
