Ella Williams is an emerging Scottish artist whose paintings capture the essence of everyday moments through distinctive use of colour and light.
A recent graduate from Edinburgh College of Art (2025), Ella demonstrates a remarkable maturity in her approach to painting. Her work moves away from literal representation, instead exploring how memory and sensation shape our experience of place and time. Whether depicting domestic interiors, architectural fragments, or still life arrangements, her paintings possess a
quiet intensity – each canvas carefully balanced between observation and abstraction.
Ella is interested in how everyday objects and spaces can hold personal significance and sentiment. This sensitivity is evident throughout her work, where items like party shoes, birthday candles, and picnic crockery become vessels for memory and meaning. These are paintings that speak of the poetry of ordinary life, transforming the familiar into something more contemplative and timeless.
