About Me

My name is Shirley Williams and I'm a full-time visual artist. I paint contemporary abstract landscapes and my acrylic paintings are shown in galleries in both Canada and the US.

Unlike most artists, I don't work in one particular palette. Instead I love to explore the entire Color Wheel and discover new and exciting ways to make the most of all the different color schemes.

Color is my life. I'm in my studio every day from morning until late in the day -usually up to my elbows in color.

Beginning with a Color Scheme and then choosing paint colors is THE most important step in the process of creating a painting. Without a solid understanding of how color works I'd be totally lost. Mostly I'd just end up with muddy looking paintings.

Here are a Few of my Paintings

A whole new level of appreciation happens when you take the time to learn a few things about how color either harmonizes or clashes.

Suddenly you can pick a paint color for your living room with confidence. You can buy a sofa knowing exactly which color blue would work best and which would look terrible.

Color is so exciting. I want to share my twenty years of practical experience with you so you can have as much fun with it as I do.

Feel free to Contact Me if you have any suggestions, questions or additional information that others might find useful.

Enjoy !!
