Annie Williams

ELECTED ARWS 2003 & RWS 2007

Annie Williams was born in 1942 in London but grew up in Wales. She trained and worked as a nurse before studying art at City and Guilds Art School from 1966 to 1969, gaining a diploma in Fine Art. Her awards include a travel scholarship to Florence, The Artist Magazine Award at the Mall Galleries, and various awards from the RWS open exhibition 21st Century Watercolour. She has had one-woman shows at the Baker Tilly Gallery, Grape Lane Gallery, and Warwick University.

Her recent work has been almost entirely still-life. She enjoys playing with shapes, pattern and colour, mixing the familiar with some abstraction, and precision with suggestion. Her foregrounds are a few simple objects, usually pots, and backgrounds are created from textiles or old newspaper cuttings, and even some unfinished paintings as a starting point.
