Growing up in the rural landscapes of North Carolina, Moseley was deeply influenced by the region's hunting culture and natural surroundings. He began carving decoys as a practical pursuit to aid in hunting, but his skills quickly evolved, turning his functional pieces into works of art. His decoys are known for their lifelike appearance, intricate detailing, and a blend of traditional techniques with his own creative flair.
