Louise Rae Williams Art

“Voices speak: rasping in the images religious, physical and Freudian symbolism borne with the relationship of mother to child.  A sentimental obsession with babies obfuscated by questioning.”

“The role of female art in the return to realism and figurative art is well recognized.  My work grows from the figurative expression of Alice Neel, Max Beckman and the social awareness of Kathie Kollwitz.”

“The roulette wheel spins some into unpleasant futures.  It is a humanizing experience to remember that the homeless mentally ill and “weird” neighbors who pace and talk to themselves were once beloved, if they were lucky, and innocent children. “
