Artist mixes elements of realism, impressionism, and abstract

Earlyn Williams has been creating art most of her life.

Earlyn Williams has been creating art most of her life.

Approximately 30 years ago she decided to get serious about her passion and started taking art lessons. Williams began painting in oils, creating mostly still life, and then moved on to acrylic and watercolor, doing realistic paintings of animals and eagles. Currently, Williams paints mostly in acrylic and is doing what she calls, ‘abstract/realism/impressionism.’

She moved from White Rock to Campbell River in 1998. Her paintings have been displayed and sold in locations such as Impressions Gallery and the Tidemark Theatre in Campbell River, Serious Coffee in Willow Point and the Bay Centre in downtown Victoria as well as to clients in the UK, USA and across Canada. Williams will be holding an open house at her home at 70 Murphy St. on Friday, April 5 and Saturday, April 6 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.

Williams says, “I have been creating art of some form most of my life. I have evolved a great deal over the years in my style and choice of mediums. There are elements of realism, impressionism, and abstract in my paintings. Over the years I have had the privilege of meeting some extremely talented artists who through their recommendations and guidance have given me the courage and support to expand and express myself on canvas. I hope you find my paintings interesting, vibrant and cheerful. Please enjoy the labor of my love.
