A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

John M. Williams specializes in creating landscape and portrait collages of historical figures. In effect “painting with paper,” John uses hundreds of small pieces of cut paper to create a likeness of his subject revealing the person’s character as well as their historical significance. The results are compelling, multifaceted fine art collages.

MY ANNUAL PROVINCETOWN GALLERY EVENT IS FAST APPROACHING

Please mark your calendars!

STARTS August 28th

Daily Hours: 11 AM to 8 PM

THE SHOW RUNS through September 8th

As always, I will be at Gallery 444 (conveniently located at 444 Commercial Street near the Provincetown Art Association Museum and other artistic attractions).

On display, you find a whole portfolio of new work created just for this show. Plus original works with a multitude of themes, including beach and coastline scenes, my classic historical portraits, landscapes, florals, past favorites and more. Limited edition prints and unique gifts featuring the artworks will also be available.

I’ll be doing collage demonstrations every afternoon - Just look for the "Genius at Work" sign when you arrive. We will offer festive Receptions on Friday nights. Families are always welcome.

Until then, l will be hard at work, putting the finishing touches on even more special pieces. For a sneak peek, check out the array below. Looking forward to sharing the stories of these fascinating new works with you soon.

P.S. If you are looking for a Summer escape you could not choose a better destination than Provincetown. Not only will you find the oldest working artist colony in the United States, but also fabulous beaches, historic sites, food, and entertaiment.  P-Town is accessible by land, sea or even air - but the trip by boat is by far the most fun and relaxing, with smooth sailing and picturesque views along the way to its peaceful, secure harbor.

I AM ACCEPTING NEW COMMISSIONS FOR MY LIGHTHOUSES SERIES

Lighthouses come in a myriad of forms and mean something different to everyone: A nautical guide, a symbol of resilience or perserverence, a comforting light in the dark of night or troubled times.

Do you have a favorite lighthouse?  A hometown landmark or cherished vacation spot?  Perhaps a lighthouse with a historical or literary connection?  I would love to hear about your favorite – wherever it may be - and how you see it.

Commissions on this topic are open for a limited time!

Please use the Contact form to reach me directly. I will be happy to discuss your special project.  I will work closely with you to create your unique piece. I especially enjoy creating commission pieces, not only because of their great meaning to others, but also because it often gives me the opportunity to research an entirely new topic such as an historical period or interesting biographical information.

Here are some of the pieces in this series:

NEW! ART FOR CHILDREN.

Do you need a unique gift for a baby or for a child's birthday or holiday gift? Baby Whale was created for my little nephew. This is the latest of a number of whimsical pieces I’ve created for children. (I’ve also done special Commissions for children.) Prints of this image are available (framed and unframed). To order, send an email to: info@johnmwilliamsfineart.com

PET PORTRAITS !

These can make wonderful gifts. As you probably know by now, I love doing commissions. Pets and other animals make great subjects. Here are just a few of my recent pet portraits:
