Figures gaze at sights unknown, landscapes dissolve into the abstraction of shapes over imperceptible boundaries, and color, more vivid and surreal than sunset or iridescence, animates scenes composed at once of the mystical and the natural. The ethereal and stylized cast of the worlds I create act in familiar ways; they row boats, ride horses, touch on another and stand quietly. Yet these activities, far from seeming mundane, guide us as vestiges of mythical experience. My aesthetic, I hope, illuminated a plane of existence visible nowhere else except in the portals of my paintings and collages. It is the summation of a long and intricate process of refinement.   Joanne Williams has an MFA in Paintings, and has been awarded numerous commendations. She exhibits in many galleries and is in public and private collections. The original, one-of-a-kind paintings are done on wood panels. The materials used are acrylic mediums, venetian plaster, gold leaf, metallic powders, mica, iron oxides, inks, and acrylic paints. These paintings are collaged with contemporary and antique textiles from Indonesia, India, Africa, China, Japan, South America and Mexico. The assemblage is completed by constructing elements from multi-cultural found objects: beads, scrap metal, wood, wire and handmade paper.
