Kristjana S Williams

Kristjana S Williams is an artist from Iceland. She creates fantastic collages by combining old - world images from maps, antique books and archives with the latest printing technology. I came across Kristjana and her work in the February 2015 edition of Homes & Antiques.

I love the idea of mixing the old with the new and have found her work an inspiration. After previously creating wallpapers, collages and cut out work as part of my degree show and seeing Kristjana's work, I have found myself excited in to creating some new ideas and pieces of work using my own style.

Here a few pieces of Krishna's work.....

About Me

I am a freelance textiles and surface pattern designer that has a love for everything creative. With a passion for design, colour and art, I like to draw and translate these images in to designs, textiles and illustrations. There is a loose, free style approach to my initial drawings but I also have an eye for details and enjoy creating traditional, handmade pieces such as wallpapers, one off images and screen printed designs.

With the ability to use traditional, hand made approaches, I can also translate drawings into digital designs by using Photoshop and Illustrator.

Influenced by nature, architecture, old photographs and artists and designers and stores such as Sisters Gulassa, Matisse and Liberty, I continue to draw and design with the help of what has inspired me.
