Allan Williams is an artist and illustrator, originally from N. Wales, now based in
Suffolk. The subject of many of Allan's recent paintings is the landscape of Suffolk
and in particular, the eroding coastline of Covehithe. In his paintings Covehithe
Erosion Zone and Ghosts of Benacre Allan has skilfully captured the way the ever
changing light picks out the colours in the waves breaking on to the North Sea coast
to create stunning, richly detailed works of art.
Many of Allan's painting are also available as Giclee prints.
Allan offers a unique concept in personally commissioned art to have a portrait
painted in the style of your favourite artist. He has made a speciality of tribute
paintings of popular celebrities such as David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix and Prince (in
the style of Salvador Dali) Get a flavour of his extraordinary work by selecting an
example piece from the list.
Also, for a special gift that will last for generations you can commission Allan to paint
your own (or a friends) house or a much loved pet in oils or watercolours. Prices
start at 500 for oils, 300 for watercolours.
Allan currently works for a charity in Ipswich providing creative workshops to help
people improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Allan also completed a project, with funding from the National Lottery - Before
London 2012 ( www.beforelondon2012.com) whereby he has recorded the pre-
development London Olympic site in paintings, together with portraits and sound
recordings of older people who have lived and worked in that area.
