William Moser is a self trained sculptor who first started sculpting in wood 39 years ago. Basic sculpting principles were initially learned from an old Swiss wood sculptor. Refinements in techniques and an understanding of diverse subject matter and style was gained from studies of sculptures by the masters at most of the major European and American galleries. His figurative sculpting style has centered on mainly classical subjects and ideas, and often expresses emotions of two people or the aspirations of individuals. Works are executed in hardwoods, marble, alabaster, and other objects are cast in bonded bronze, copper, marble, and hydrostone by first modeling figures in clay. Certain works depict historical and classical themes which were executed on location in several foreign countries. These sculptures in different media may be viewed on line at www.mosersculpture.com

The sculptor was born in Tennessee and majored in engineering, chemistry, and mathematics at Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and MTSU. He earned a Ph.D. in chemistry at MIT following which he lived in Switzerland for five years while working at CIBA AG and the Organometallic Institute. Upon returning to the U.S., he worked at the Exxon and Badger corporate laboratories and most recently was a Professor of Chemical Engineering at WPI for 20 years. His research in the Catalytic Sciences resulted in over 100 publications in archival journals and over 20 U.S. and international patents.
