"Heat of the Night" by Peter Williams

Creating haunting, ephemeral Native American portraits, Peter tries not to be historically accurate but attempts to portray palpable and arresting emotions, suspending reality and presenting the viewer with the wild, unchecked passions and stoic serenity of Native America. He also produces 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. Peter's work has been featured in the last 2 years'  David Sheppard Wildlife Artist of the Year Award show in the Mall Galleries, London.

Artist of the Week - Peter Williams

Peter Williams is our Artist of the Week, this week. Peter's work was recently shortlisted and selected for the prestigious David Shepherd Wildlife Artist Of The Year award 2010, with an exhibition in The mall Galleries in London. The exhibition was very well attended, and Peter's painting "High and Mighty" (shown here) was awarded second place in the category "Animals in Action).

Peter's work is becoming increasingly sought after and collectable. He works in various media, with his graphite drawings and watercolours being most popular.

Peter is an entirely self taught UK artist, working out of his studio on the Suffolk coast.

Peter says:

"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.

Born in 1952 I had a varied working life which included the regular British Army, college tutor, computer analyst and lorry driver. Throughout all of 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 and decided to exploit my passion for the old West and Native America. I haven’t looked back since. I have had quite a lot of success selling prints and originals in the USA but have also been pleasantly surprised to find many collectors here in the UK. Of course I still create all other genre when the mood takes me, particularly wildlife and horses, and work to commission whenever requested. "
