Sir Kyffin Williams

(1918 – 2006) Born on Anglesey in 1918, Kyffin Williams, the younger son of a bank manager descended from a long line of Welsh Clergymen. He left Shrewsbury School in 1935 having won an art prize and was eventually to become one of Wales’s most loved artists, celebrated particularly for his compelling portraits and his landscapes and seascapes of North Wales.

From 1944-1973 Williams taught art at Highgate School in London, spending the school holidays in Wales to paint and draw.

Kyffin was a senior Royal Academician and was President of the Royal Cambrian Academy for many years.

In 1982 he received an O.B.E. for his services to the Arts, and he was awarded a knighthood by Her Majesty the Queen in the New Year’s Honours list in 2000.
