Thank you for sharing this tribute. Always good to see artists speaking about their practice in their own words. As I put it in the tribute on my blog, 'Rather than commenting authoritatively on her contributions to British culture, I wanted to let Williams speak as much as possible in her own voice, just as her paintings speak to us, even though we might not always realize how much Williams spoke through them about herself.' I wrote the obituary for the Times and, just a few days prior to Williams' death, contributed an essay to ArtUK. Currently, I am finalising a catalogue of paintings by Williams' son Ceri (mentioned above). Regards, Harry (Heuser)
I`m sorry to hear this. Way back in 1955 Claudia and Gwilym were part of an exhibition in Bangor with Brenda Chamberlain and I went mad (as an impecunious student) and bought three of Claudia` s Anglesey landscapes - for £10 in total). Much later I met them both and was able to say how much pleasure the paintings had given me.

Thanks for that memory, Sally. She was a special artist.
