Anthea Williams studied Fine Art Sculpture at Wimbledon College of Art (University of the Arts), graduating in 1991. She went on to complete a Master of Arts in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, where she was awarded the Henry Moore Scholarship.
Whilst still at the Royal College of Art, Anthea started exhibiting her work and was included in exhibitions at The Nicht Gallery, Buckinghamshire and Space Frame Gallery, Gillingham. In 1993, she was invited by Keir Smith to exhibit with The London Group at Morley Gallery, London. In the same year, Anthea was selected for the Whitworth Young Contempories exhibition, Manchester.
During her MA, Anthea had begun to develop an interest in teaching and combined her studies with working in education at Camden Arts Centre. After graduating from the RCA, Anthea worked for four years as the Administrator of Chisenhale Gallery. During this time, she continued to teach as a visiting artist on BA courses at Staffordshire, Coventry, Norwich and Winchester.
Anthea has continued to combine teaching with her own art practice and is currently focusing on the painting of portraiture, still life and landscape.
