Grant Williams
Grant Russell Williams is a Denver-based artist who has been working out of Blue Silo Studios for over a decade. He graduated with a BFA in printmaking from the University of Denver in 1991. Since that time he has worked and shown across the Front Range and elsewhere. His work consists largely of etchings, but he also shown drawings, paintings, and sculptures.
"My work is really just an exploration of the world as I know it. I’m curious how a personal mythology becomes a shared mythology. Blurring the lines in art can help people ask the questions they need to ask in order to better interpret their own experience.”
He has been published in several magazines, and done book illustration work. He is currently teaching intaglio printmaking at the Art Student’s League of Denver.
