Annie Williams (painter)

[1] Born in London, the daughter of artist Ivor Williams and Elizabeth Pocock, Williams grew up in Wales and trained and worked as a nurse before studying Fine Art at City and Guilds from 1966 to 1969.

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.

In 2013, her exhibition "Still Life: Prints and Watercolours" was held at the University of Aberystwyth.

[1] Williams’s mixed shows included the RA Summer Exhibition; RWS and RE Opens; Singer & Friedlander/Sunday Times Watercolour Competition; Laing Art Competition; and the provinces.
