Artist Statement
Tosh Williams is a Middle Tennessee artist who enjoys surrounding herself with an eclectic mix of inspiration for her figurative and non-representational works. After receiving her BFA in graphic design, painting and art history from Middle Tennessee State University she began working as a freelance designer, museum retail manager and administrator before receiving her MBA from Bethel University. Tosh strives to reference the old while creating the new in her painted works. She describes her work as “expressive, jagged around the edges and intentional,” and enjoys experimenting with textures. Her work often features “found objects” as surface materials. She states that “we should never forget our past or allow it to sacrifice our future. Old does not mean dead. I love found materials because they have their own story which can be incorporated into a new narrative.” Tosh paints in oil, ink and acrylic. Her favorite subject is the emotional figure, however she finds the act of constructing non-representational works using repurposed objects satisfying. “I believe art should be theoretically accessible, understandable and enjoyable to the ‘common man/woman.’ I value its ability to communicate ideas across time, culture and demographics, but respect its right to be nothing more than a visual statement. I love simple graphically striking things as well as thought provoking or emotionally evocative subject matter. In my mind these possibilities are not exclusive to one another.” Tosh accepts commissions. Please contact for more information.
