Catrin Williams has exhibited her art widely since the late 1980s. Brought up on a hill-farm near Bala, she has lived near the sea at Pwllheli since 1996. Welshness - or rather the experience of living in Wales - is an obvious theme in Catrin Williams’ work, she has embodied the Welsh dresser, clothes, faces and family customs in her work. Family and homely themes have also developed into studies of the tourist imagery of Wales such as the dreaded cliché-ridden tea-towels. Recent landscape works echo her early paintings of the Berwyn mountains but it's the coastline and the sea around the Llŷn Peninsula which are the inspiration.
Dechreuodd Catrin Williams arddangos ei gweithiau celf ar ddiwedd yr 1980au ac ers hynny mae ei gwaith wedi teithio ar draws y byd. Fe'i magwyd ar fferm fynydd yng Nghefnddwysarn ger Y Bala, ond mae wedi byw wrth ymyl y môr ym Mhwllheli ers 1996. Cymreictod - neu yn hytrach y profiad o fyw yn Nghymru - yw un o'r themau cryfaf yng ngwaith Catrin Williams; mae'r ddresel, y dillad, wynebau ac arferion y teulu i gyd yn aml wedi gweu drwy'i gilydd ac yn mynnu sylw. Dros amser datblygodd y themau cartrefol a theuluol i gynnwys elfennau o'r symbolau twristaidd o Gymru fel y llieiniau golchi llestri ystrydebol. Mae atsain o'i thirluniau cynnar o fynyddoedd y Berwyn yn amlwg yn ei darnau diweddaraf ond arfordir a thraethau penrhyn Llŷn yw'r ysbrydoliaeth bellach.
