Welcome to my studio

I'm Sophia Williams, an impressionistic oil painter capturing the distinctive light, atmosphere, and wildlife of the North Norfolk coast. Based in my Stiffkey studio, I create original paintings that evoke the sweeping skies, golden beaches, marsh harriers, and tranquil marshlands that make this landscape and its inhabitants so extraordinary.

Experience my work

My paintings need to be seen in person to truly appreciate their texture, depth, and luminosity. While you can browse my collection online, I invite you to:

  • visit my Stiffkey studio by appointment to see current works in progress

  • explore selected pieces at VinedMe in Walsingham, where you can enjoy a glass of wine while viewing my art

  • attend my upcoming Open Studios in May 2025, with the details below

Digital photography can never fully capture the nuanced brushwork and layered colors of original oil paintings. To arrange a personal viewing, email me at thesophiawilliams@gmail.com.

Art & wine: a natural pairing

You might wonder why I work as both an artist and a wine educator. In truth, these passions share the same foundation: the joy of sensory appreciation.

A glass of wine is a conversation maker, storyteller, and time capsule that evolves with each experience. Similarly, a landscape painting transports you to a place, evokes memories, and captures the essence of a specific moment while remaining timeless.

Both celebrate how beauty exists in the eye of the beholder, creating personal connections that deepen over time.
