Batsell was born and reared in central Texas, and has lived and worked in five regions of the United States, mostly in the southwest.

He has studied under such well-known artists and teachers as Will Kendrick, Waco, Texas; Frederick Myzon, Baylor University; Miron Cook, Watkins Institute, Nashville; and Jack Jordan, San Diego.

Through his extensive training and experience, Mr. Moore’s paintings portray exceptional expression in a broad spectrum of subject matter, such as Westerns, Indians, Americana, California Colonial Spanish, Boats, Seascapes, Historical, and Southwest Canyons. He accomplishes unusual versatility working in a wide range of media. Mr. Moore has been commissioned to paint well-known and historical places in middle Tennessee, such as Ryman Auditorium, better known as the “Grand Old Opry”. A partial list of owners of Mr. Moore’s work includes Paul Harvey, Pat Boone, the late Johnny Cash, Bank of America—San Diego, and Union Bank—San Diego.
