Featured Artist: Alice Williams
Alice Williams paints, laughs, gardens, and lives with an ease and awakened wonder which infuse the very fibers of her canvas and inspire every stroke of her brush. Taking in an Alice Williams painting is a meditation: transporting, comforting, inspiring, and revealing. Luring one in ever more deeply with its color play and thoughtful composition, her rhythmic strokes delightfully blur the sharp edges of reality, and take the viewer into a lovely, timeless, secret world they never even knew they were missing.
There is no mistaking an Alice Williams painting. Post-impressionist in style for over 50 years, she makes it look easy, but that perfectly unfinished, relaxed precision is the result of a lifelong love affair with the arts and dedicated study with many of the great American artists of our time. In 1992 she began to share her knowledge and expertise by offering workshops and classes both in the United States and Provence.
Also a master gardener, Alice began to apply what she had learned from painting garden scenes. “Grass is negative space, color is positive. I am still amazed and in wonder when I think about it.” Her passion and sheer joy for creating legendary gardens matches her love of painting. Always drawing inspiration from her surroundings, she took notice of the enchanting gardens of England when her husband, Don, was relocated there through his job with IBM for two and a half years in 1985. Alice’s homes and gardens have been the subjects of at least 14 articles in major publications.
As far as education is concerned, Alice believes if you want to be the best you must study from the best. “I have been extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity of studying from some of the very best artists in the U.S. today,” says Alice.
Williams has an extensive list of Galleries showing her works and is featured in numerous Public and Museum Collections which you can find listed on her website.
