About Dave Williams
Welcome and thank you for viewing my web pages. I live in Kidderminster (Worcestershire), am a completely self taught artist and I have miniature paintings in private collections all around the world.
I started out painting full size paintings in watercolour and then after painting a miniature for a friend's dollshouse I became hooked on miniature painting, however I soon came across my first real problem, miniature frames, there are cheap imported frames readily available, but these are not of the best quality they are too bulky and usually not very square and having spent many hours on a miniature painting I decided that I would have to make my own frames to show my paintings at their best.
It took a lot of patience and practice before I managed to make the quality frame that I was after, mainly using mahogany which I find has a nice smooth finish and then again after many hours of practice I have been able to create some fancy period style frames which I can now produce in resin. The making of the frames then led me to try my hand at furniture, basic items to start with and after several attempts at different pieces, I fell in love with the early style, tudor, medieval and gothic, I try to use wood that has a nice grain and so far only use mahogany or walnut.
I accept commissions for paintings and furniture and I will try making or painting anything, so if you have any special requirements get in touch!
