THE ARTIST- Effie Williams
Effie Williams is a Fine Artist living in Ballarat, Australia. Effie completed her Bachelor of Visual Arts at Federation University, Ballarat in 2014. In her final years Effie found her favourite medium -painting on fabric and creating soft figurative sculptures. Since completing university Effie has refined her medium and keeps exploring the possibilities that it brings.
Effie Williams makes honest and expressive figurative works that are a combination of two-dimensional and sculptural forms as well as being functional; her main disciplines are Drawing and Painting. Effie often uses fabric as the surface for her paintings and creates them into figurative soft sculptures.
Vibrantly coloured, gestural, playful, figurative imagery have been constant themes within her work. Effie draws influenced from her experience of performance, arty fashion and everyday life. With these influences, she brings a fresh vibrant manner to the creating of her artworks.
Effie uses bright colours and patterns to express a heightened moment of joy that her figures are sharing.
The fabric gives a soft, intimate sense to the viewer; the response Effie wants from the viewer is one of positivity and a sense of fun.
