`Ignoring Constraints`

Anie Williams is an artist of rich experience working out of Byron Bay, NSW. Working with a range of mediums her work carries with it an underlying interconnectedness. Anie creates sublimely calm waterscapes on canvas often portraying the point where sea meets shore, then on paper and working with gouache there are the exquisitely fine depictions of found stones washed up on the beach. The relationships between these works speaks for itself. The work which will make up Anie's first solo exhibition with Pivotal Galleries will be the series of 12 Prince Charming digital images reproduced onto canvas in limited edition. This medium allows Anie to draw on her wealth of visual language to combine the printed word and created images and arrive at a unique junction.
