Blog Launched
My new low-key, very busy creativity blog has now launched!
It covers all my sketch books, art journals, tutorials, experiments, sewing, craft, knitting, home life, cooking, beauty and more.
Please follow the buttons in the main header to see it or visit me at Insert Creativity Here
Thanks! Hope to see you there!
New Blog Tab!
As you may have noticed i’ve just added a new blog tab on my website that will link you to the currently blank Insert Creativity Here blog, which is my new, super casual, art and craft blog that i’ll be using to feature my passing thoughts and experiments with art, craft, journaling, photography, sketching, experiments, tutorials, sewing, home stuff, fashion, beauty, recipes, baby and family ‘life’ stuff and basically everything informal that i dont want to clutter up this portfolio website with.
This website will ONLY feature news on my professional work from now on including exhibitions, work for sale and portfolio updates so if youre looking for old tutorials etc head over to the new blog and i’ll be reposting them there very soon along with a lot of new exciting stuff.
So, come on over to my new blog, follow me and introduce yourself. I highly recommend setting up a google reader account or Bloglovin which can be accessed from iPhone’s if you download the app (this is what i use) to keep track of all the blogs you love reading. I’m completely addicted!
Status/Maternity Leave
I’ve been downsizing and reorganising my presence online and within the art community this week so i can spend my time more effectively creatively and privately.
From now on my main points of activity and contact will be here at www.liannewilliams.com, Facebook and possibly a more casual art/life sketch blog which I’m still considering whether to make public ATM. If I do I’ll let you know.
I will no longer be submitting to deviantart but the account will remain as I will still be looking around. Anything else is pretty much gone.
Ive decided I want a bit more fun with my art which means stepping back for a while. I’m blessed with the opportunity to do this as my husband and I are expecting our second child this December and with two under fives I’m going to have a LOT on my plate. But I still intend to work- but in a more playful, less ‘professional’ way. If anything I’m hoping i’ll get more stuff done minus the baggage of social media!
With this in mind please note I will be going on maternity leave from mid October for six months and I will not be taking on any new work from the end of August so please get any orders or commissions in ASAP.
Thanks for reading.

New Chapel Down wine inspired paintings
If you havent tried these amazing Kent wines you must pop down to your local Waitrose or John Lewis and grab a bottle from the Chapel Down range. They are incredibly impressive and prove exactly what’s so exciting about the new wave of English wines hitting the shops.
Ive recently tried two of their range, the English Rose 2009 and the Flint Dry 2010 and have created two new paintings inspired by their flavours, tastes and appearence. My intention is to convey the olfactury experience in a visual way. I have used a blend of acrylic washes and tissue paper on canvas to give a layered, expressive abstract using sybolism and texture to convey what i taste, smell and see. When i look at my work i taste the wine all over again. This is my hope for the viewer too.
Both these paintings are for sale and will be on exhibition and available to purchase at the Nucleus Arts Cafe in Chatham on the 24th May until 6th June 2011. Please contact the gallery for further details on how to view or purchase these works.
These paintings would be perfect for a wine lover or displayed in a restaurant, shop or work environment where the value and artistry of wine is appreciated or indeed, a proud Kent home or business who appreciates the importance of local produce and supporting local businesses and communities.
Exhibition: Cafe Nucleus, Chatham, Kent
I’m pleased to announce i’ll be holding a small exhibition of completely new work at the lovely Cafe Nucleus in Chatham, Kent over the summer of 2011 on two seperate occassions.

Print & Product Status
We are currently in the process of setting up a new eCommerce Shop for buying prints and Lianne Williams products after recently discovering that our Deviant Art store unfortunately ships all their products directly from the US making it expensive and bad for the environment for our UK customers to order anything. As a UK artist this doesn’t make sense, especially when there are many better local alternatives which we’d much rather use and support. As a result we’ve decided that for UK customers who don’t want to bare the brunt of excessive shipping fees and the ugly carbon footprint of buying a simple postcard we will be locating a new supplier for our prints and other products.
As a result the Shop section is currently offline until further notice.
Please note that the Deviant Art store is still open for eCommerce and will remain so for US and other worldwide customers who will still be better off ordering through there, but we highly recommend patience from UK orders so we can give you the best price directly. Until then if you have orders please contact us and we will do manual orders.
Thanks for your patience.
