Tamantha Williams is an artist based in South Africa. Driven by her connection to the environment and how it interacts with the beings that occupy it drives the art work she produces. Her primary medium is oils but often combines charcoal and sewing into the art works. Having finished her degree in Landscape Architecture her love for art out weighed her chosen profession at that stage. Starting her career in the art industry her journey led her to UNISA Visual Arts Degree.
Qualifying as a Landscape Architect in 1994, she worked within this field in South Africa and Botswana and lectured at the University of Pretoria [TUKS] in the Landscape Design module. She moved on to opening her own GraphicDesign Company and co ran it for 7 years.
She has actively been part of group art exhibitions since 2019. Whilst studying Visual Arts she won an award in a Recycled Art Exhibition. In 2021 she was awarded with the selection of top 100 artists in the Sasol Signatures Emerging Art Competition in South Africa.
For her, Art is one place where desire to express and explore creativity becomes truly tangible. She is primarily inspired by thoughts of the world we live in, the truths that we believe exist, and how we live these truths. Her work is based on human relationships and interactions in the physical and spiritual emotional context, these She questions and turns upside down and then comments on it through her art. Her question: "How do we live the truths we decide on, how do we base all of our lives on a past - that does not exist, with concern for a future that is unpredictable?" Through her art she investigates basic thought processes about guilt, forgiveness, love, time,conflict, isolation, eternity, separation and the ‘What is human?’ construct.
