Bill Wiggins lives a simple life balancing art with ranch income. He paints mainly for love, not sale, while his wife Rathelle notes his daily routine and family involvement. The Roswell painter, largely self taught, reflects on WPA era art training and his eclectic style that gains him growing attention.
