About
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Barbara Anne Williams designs from her home in the beautiful Cache Valley of northern Utah. Raised in Wyoming with a few years in Colorado and Utah sprinkled in, her western heritage influences her country designs. A more subtle influence stems from her love of Northern Italy where she spent over a year as a missionary. The Italian people’s capacity for finding beauty everywhere, and creating it where it is lacking, taught Barbara to find inspiration in the world around her.
Barbara is passionate about personal and family history, and her work is dedicated to those who came before (who left a heritage through their stories, photos and handiwork) and those who will come after (who will enjoy that same heritage if she’s done her job right). She especially thanks her husband who shows remarkable patience when she’s up against a deadline, her 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.
