About

Barbara Anne Williams designs from her home in the beautiful Cache Valley of northern Utah where she finds inspiration in her natural surroundings, home and family, and old books. Her first serious attempt at artwork was a calligraphy class at the university where she fell in love with paper, ink and the history of the art. As a freelance artist she has been creating and selling digital artwork for crafters, scrapbookers and card-makers at Bits of Ivory since 2001, and is thrilled to now be offering her artwork through Cuddly Buddly Crafts.

In addition to my digital artwork, Barbara finds that she can’t resist the urge to take up a pair of scissors, feel the delicious texture of paper in her hands, and get her fingers delightfully inky.  As a result, she designs and creates unique, handcrafted books, cards, tags and other little keepsakes that she posts here on the blog for inspiration.  Those that that don’t quickly find homes as gifts for friends and family can be found at her Etsy shop, Bramble & Vine.

Barbara is especially thankful for a husband who shows remarkable patience when she’s up against a deadline, wonderful children who think everything she makes is either delicious or beautiful, her father who is remembered each time she signs her work =A, and her mother whose unfailing support and friendship are forever treasured.
