Biography

Elizabeth Williams has been pursuing her creative expression since childhood, beginning first as a musician and then later as a painter and designer.  After a successful career as a graphic designer, she returned to painting full-time combining both her knowledge of design with her lifelong love of music to serve as a foundation for her work, evident in her bold, painterly and rhythmic compositions. Elizabeth finds her inspiration in music, and notices the similarity of creating both music and paintings. Her brush strokes move in harmony across her canvas resulting in a symphony of bold, graphic and rhythmic paintings.

Currently, Elizabeth lives with her family in San Antonio, Texas. Her work is represented in galleries, corporate, and private collections across the United States and Canada.
