Annie Williams

ELECTED ARWS 2003 & RWS 2007

Annie Williams' 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.

Annie Williams gained her diploma in Fine Art from City and Guilds Art School. 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.
