Eliza Williams is a painter and multimedia visual artist. Her work is vastly inspired by the processes of knowing oneself, healing and intuition. Her style is a contemporary expressive style that plays with the merge of simplicity and complexion, realism and abstract. In addition to acrylic paint, she uses many different mediums, incorporating paper, fabrics, chalk, sewing and more into her work. She uses found materials and often creates fresh canvases out of recycled fabrics. Being inspired by the world around her, she has made pigments and textures from river clay, collaged children's drawings and inked paper towels from tattooing. Most of her work is abstracted portraiture, but she also paints abstract and abstracted landscapes.
Eliza has displayed her work at various galleries, venues and juried shows around the Eugene/Springfield and Portland areas since 2015 including the Patricia Reser Center for the Arts, the Ford Gallery and The Mayor's Art Show. In 2018, she painted a mural and created a mosaic in Chicxulub Pueblo, Yucatán México. Afterwards, in Beaverton Oregon, she carried out a hands-on multidisciplinary art project with children at the Club K after school program about the arts, culture and language of Yucatán that she learned from her time in the Pueblo. She has been published in Murze and Bleed magazine.
