Kellie Williams is an emerging contemporary abstract artist best described as a modern paint sculptor creating highly textured & dimensional oil paintings.
Kellie's textured ring series was initially inspired by cut tree logs and their growth rings, Kellie works to blur and bind the boundaries that exist between the impossible beauty and random patterns created by nature and those that exist in traditional oil painting, she uses oil paint to create her highly textures pieces.
Kellie lives and paints on a small farm overlooking the Grampians in Western Victoria.
"Ring Series"... Inspired by Trees.
"I have long been fascinated by the growth rings in a tree and the pattern those rings make, my paintings reflect this. As a child I was forever counting the growth rings on cut up logs, I even love the way a cut log cracks when it dries out, for the longest time I created all sorts of circles trying to replicate the growth rings with continuous lines and patterns, when I finally painted these rings I felt in some way like I had arrived home.
I use the paint to build up and slowly mix layers of oil paint.
These paintings are highly textured, I use only oil paint to create my ring texture, drying is a slow but fulfilling process."
