*************

Sue Williams (born 1956, Cornwall) is a British visual artist, trained, living and working in Wales.^[1]

Sue Williams was born in 1956 in Redruth, Cornwall.^[2] Williams studied art in Cardiff in the 1970s, later getting her Masters of Art from Cardiff College of Art (UWIC).^[1]

Williams made the news in 2009 when she was awarded £20,000 from National Lottery funds (via the Arts Council of Wales) to finance a study of cultural attitudes towards women’s bottoms.^[3][4] She explained to theWestern Mail that the money would cover living costs while she built up a new collection of three dimensional work, which would partly consist of plaster casts of all parts of women's bodies. ""My present work stems from a desire to visually explore and understand issues related to the feminine ideal - the desire to change body shape, the pressure to create perfection and to compromise a personal identity"" she said.^[5] Williams had been inspired by a visit to Zimbabwe, where her work had been taken down from two galleries because it portrayed women's backsides.^[5]

In 2009 Williams visited China to study their gender politics and the dynamics of communication between men and women. She was invited back again in 2013 to take part in a touring exhibition called Open Books. The exhibition subsequently toured to Australia.^[6]

Her work is respresented in the collection of the University of South Wales.^[7] She is currently a lecturer in fine art at University of Wales Trinity Saint David, Swansea.^[6]

In 2000 she was the recipient of the Wales National Eisteddfod Gold Medal for Fine Art^[8] and the Rootstein Hopkins Foundation Award for painting.^[1] In 2005 she was one of eight shortlisted artists (the only British representative) for the second biannual Artes Mundi Prize.^[9]
