Artist Statement:
When we look at a piece of
art work it has to form some
kind of connection to the
viewer. It must evoke a memory
or stir the imagination or it
will fail to cause the person
to return to it and examine it
further. By painting some of
natures hidden treasures I
hope to bring the viewer back
to places or times that are
stored in their memories.
I started my painting in
watercolor and spent many
years improving my skill level
but recently became
dissatisfied with traditional
representations. I determined
that I must explore new
mediums as well as different
ways of expressing my vision
in art. As a result I now am
working with several water
media products to produce
works that go beyond the
literal expression or painting
and encourage the viewer to
interpret the content and
subject of the work.

| Your Personal Biography |
Rich Williams’ work is primarily in acrylics and watercolor, and covers a cross section of subjects such as landscapes, old barns and structures, boats, florals and abstracts. The need to portray the subtle feeling of nature has led to the painting of nature’s hidden treasures. This is reflected in his paintings of some of nature’s small and usually unnoticed hidden scenes.
From a very early age Rich was interested in art. Studying art in high school only tweaked his interest more. He attended S.A.I.T., taking first year Architectural Technology where he learned perspective drawing. He also attended the Alberta College of Art where he took lessons in Figure Drawing. Understanding the need to improve his technique with all mediums, Rich began taking many workshops from established artists to improve his style and master principles of design.
