Nineteen years after graduating from the University of South Carolina with a BFA in Studio Art, Mike Williams has become one of the South’s most acclaimed visual artists. An avid outdoorsman who grew up hunting and fishing, the Sumter, SC native identifies with nature. Williams is an artist who has managed to create a style that serves as a synthesis between the representational world of tradition and the emotional world explored by “modern” abstract painters. Manipulation of the painted surface to achieve space and form has always been critical to Williams. While adhering to subjects he knows and holds dear; the South Carolina swamps, marshes, barrier islands, and marine life, he is able to depict his subjects with an emotional connection unlike any other.
