Alison Williams
Amidst the beautiful
natural landscapes of the Clarence Valley thrives a strong cultural
thread that is kept alive by an abundance of talented artists and
crafts people. One in particular that is worth a mention is
Aboriginal artist Alison Williams. Alison has been a practicing
artist for the past 19 years and a teacher of fine arts and
Indigenous culture for approximately eight years. A descendant of
the Gumbaingirr Nation, Alison draws from a rich ancient culture and
her own life experience to produce an amazing variety of work that
can reflect cultural/political issues, evoke strong emotion, and
express contemporary Indigenous Identity.
Alison’s work has hung in many galleries
throughout NSW and has been purchased nationally and
internationally, with her solo exhibitions receiving rave reviews.
Her latest work was selected for the NSW Parliament Indigenous Art
Prize, Sydney, September 2005.
Alison’s sculptures, paintings and drawings
possess a certain integrity that makes her artwork a sought after
investment. If you’re ever in South Grafton in Northern NSW you can
experience first hand this talented artist through the sculpted
faces cropping out of a Street Oasis as part of a public art
installation. |
