About the Artist

Sullivan Clare Williams’ work captures the elusive feelings of non verbal experience and dreams through visual and written art. Playing in surrealist landscapes with hyper-realistic subjects, Williams’ work analyzes the purpose of selfhood through an internal lens with a dash of punk actualization. Their visual vocabulary reveals moments of brevity by use of figures in moments of realization. They are a mixed media artist with a primary focus in acrylic portraiture as well as figurative and abstract sculpture. Williams’ work embodies the vulnerability of unseen moments as well as the Intimacy of solitude and self reflection.
