Claudia williams is a distinguished figurative artist; born in england but regarded as welsh for her long association with wales. She studied at the chelsea school of art 1950-53. In 1949 she won first prize at the royal institute galleries, london, and in 1950 she was the winner of the young persons’ art prize at the national eisteddfod of wales held at caerphilly. After graduating from chelsea williams spent the next decade teaching part-time in schools and for the worker's educational association. She also became a regular participant both in group exhibitions organised by the arts council of wales and at the annual eisteddfod art shows. Williams married the welsh artist gwilym prichard, and they shared their life together for sixty-two years, until gwilym died in 2015. They had four children and lived a life that was immersed in art, travel, family and love. As an artist claudia williams always focussed her work on people, painting from her experiences as a wife, a mother, and her acute observations of her travels. It has been said that she paints what she knows, family, fellowship and faith, with a personal interpretation. Her style is confident, and her palette is vibrant.
