A native of Austin, Texas, and a long-time resident of Conroe, Gordon Williams sees beauty in the ordinary. His passion for beauty and appreciation of the simple things in life is exemplified in his art.
Gordon’s art is created entirely of leafing. He combines gold, silver, and copper leafing to create luminous effects, bringing ordinary subjects to life.
His first art piece depicted the iconic UT Tower. This structure remained the subject of most of his earlier work. Using the UT tower as the focal point, he experimented with different techniques and tools to refine his practice and emphasize the ability to see beauty in the ordinary.
In 2009, Gordon sold his first work of art, which was displayed in a storefront window of a high-end boutique located in The Woodlands, Texas. Along with private purchases, he also provides custom-designed gilding art for commission. His creative energy continues to flow freely. He hopes that his art enlightens and uplifts others and enhances the ability to see and find the beauty in simple things.

“I am deeply passionate about beauty and envision beauty in the simple objects that surround us. I am inspired to share a different visual perception of ordinary beauty that awakens the senses to appreciate things often taken for granted. Gilding is my art form, and the creative process brings me joy, peace, and a chance to discover something new every day.” Gordon Williams
