Gill Williams Photography and Art, Ian Williams Artist

Gill
After a 30 year career in the police as a police diver, Gill retired to the Isle of Skye with her husband Ian and took up photography, specialising in landscape, aurora and underwater photography. Her first love is art though, which she enjoyed before joining the police. Originally specialising in pastels and watercolours she now focuses on oils in tiny miniature as she loves detail. In 2023 she had two pieces accepted by the Royal Society of Miniature Artists for their summer exhibition in London. Her photographs are all printed on aluminium and her miniature paintings are on brown clam shells and ceramic alumina. Gill is now looking forward to basing her photography in the Cairngorms and producing more miniature paintings from them.
