Annie Williams (born 1942) is a watercolour artist who won the 2009 Turner Watercolour Award.[1]
Biographyedit
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.[1]
Her later 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.
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.[3]
