Eliza Williams is an acrylic painter and multimedia artist. She is mostly self taught, her largest source of knowledge comes from studying and gaining inspiration from other artists’ techniques. A style that she has been pursuing is one of a contemporary figurative style that plays with the merge of simplicity and complexion. She loves to play with different mediums, styles and ideas. Eliza is seeking to try something new and reach a new level in her creation. In 2018 Eliza was invited to Chicxulub Pueblo in Yucatán, Mexico to paint a mural. During her stay she painted a mural, made a tile mosaic and painted some pieces for an upcoming gallery in the pueblo. Afterwards, she took her knowledge of the Mayan culture mixed with modern Yucatán and created a multidisciplinary project with students of the Club K After school Program. This project included language, games, art, homemade dyes, rope making, painting, sculpture and more. Eliza learned the importance of immersion into diverse cultures in regards to personal development. These projects served as a catalyst for growth within her art by pushing her into new directions. Eliza has displayed her work at various businesses around the Eugene and Portland Oregon areas since 2013 and had her first solo gallery exhibition at the Island Park Art Gallery in Eugene, Oregon in 2019. She is a member of the Portland Saturday Market and Bonnie Paisley Studios. She is based in Portland, OR.
