 I am Peter Williams, an entirely self taught UK artist, working out of my studio on the Suffolk coast where I live with my long term partner Jenny.
Born in 1952 I had a varied working life which included the regular British Army, college tutor, computer analyst and lorry driver. During these times I always found time to create art of some kind in my spare time. In 2002 I took the life changing step of becoming a full time artist. I was the feature artist for Hertfordshire Life magazine before moving to the East coast of Suffolk in 2005.
I expected to make my living here from local landscapes and coastal scenes. However I soon realized I would be better off finding a more niche area of the art market. Having always had immense interest in the great outdoors, I decided to exploit my passion for the old West and Native America as well as Wildlife. I haven’t looked back since.
Creating haunting, ephemeral Native American portraits, not trying to be historically accurate but attempting to portray palpable and arresting emotions, suspending reality and presenting the viewer with the wild, unchecked passions and stoic serenity of Native America.
Producing stunning and highly detailed, photo-realistic graphite images of wildlife.
Blending diffused colour with confident composition, intricate detail, sometimes dramatic movement but always a unique vibrancy unequalled by many other watercolourists.
With a strong on-line presence as well as exhibiting several times a year in real world galleries, I have developed a large following of collectors and enthusiasts from all continents, my new work being sought after as demand outstrips productivity.
I was honoured to be short listed for the David Shepherd Wildlife Artist Of The Year award 2010. My paintings have also been published in some of Dorling Kindersley's watercolour workshop books and featured in several magazines in the UK. Artgallery rating
