Catrin Williams

Catrin was born on a hill farm near Bala where she was involved in the day to day activities of a lively Welsh speaking community. Apart from life on the farm, she enjoyed drama, singing, art and performing in local eisteddfodau. She is close to her Welsh roots which she draws upon to inspire her work. Welshness ­ or rather the experience of living in Wales - is an obvious theme in Catrin Williams’ work, she embodies the Welsh dresser, clothes, faces and family customs in her work. She travels and paints extensively, inspired to paint when travelling subjects reflecting her enjoyment in everyday occurences. Wherever the country and whatever the subject, Catrin fills her paintings with exuberant colour which excites the mind and stimulates the senses. Her works exude happiness, a joy for life and a strong sense of being at home in Wales. Catrin Williams has shown her work in London, Scotland and Ireland as well as in many exhibitions throughout Wales.
