"AN AFFAIR WITH ART"
written by William Ward Moseley
 

“An Affair with Art”, a new book just released by local Lake Gaston artist, architect and author William Ward Moseley, is now available for those interested.

The book features chapters on Lake Gaston, Roanoke Rapids, White Plains, and other areas Moseley has visited and painted.

 Moseley was inspired to write his memories, like many artists have, in order to preserve his history of that of local areas. He is a graduate architect of Virginia Tech School of Architecture, class of 1951, and founded the Richmond based firm of Moseley Architects. He retired in 1990 and officially started a new career in art. Now, twenty-one years later, he has completed over twelve hundred paintings in watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic mediums. He and his wife reside on Lake Gaston, on the North Carolina-Virginia state line, off Route 903.

The book contains one hundred sixty-nine pages, consisting of over ninety-seven paintings and eighteen photos of personal data.

Moseley's’ studio and gallery is housed in their boathouse and stores many paintings and prints of his view from the window.
Visitation by appointment may be obtained by calling 252-586-5342.

In the Lake Gaston area Moseley's paintings are on display at

The Art Source Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina,
The Rosemont Winery in La Crosse, Virginia,
River Front Gallery in Weldon, North Carolina
and the
Bird's Eye View in Littleton, North Carolina

In the summer months he began a group of Lake Gaston artists to do plein aire paintings of chosen sites around Lake Gaston. Most of the painters are members of The Halifax Art Council in Roanoke Rapids.

In the winter months the Moseley's travel to Naples, Florida, where they designed and built a new home, studio and gallery in Eagle Creek Country Club. In Naples Moseley is an active artist and teacher at the Art League of Marco Island, and a member of  The Naples Art Association.
