At Country to Canvas we believe in allowing yourself the time and permission to explore your creativity.  In today’s busy world we feel it’s important to step away, relax, unwind and explore your passion for painting in a friendly and supportive environment. Although our tuition is guided, our ethos is to encourage the original unique style of each individual.

The emphasis is always to find the joy of painting!

Michelle Cottam- Williams

I have over 40 years’ experience working in creative environments and exhibited art works in Anglesey and further afield.  Since moving to Anglesey, I have been concentrating on my passion for paint, taking on commissions and offering painting classes.  I love nurturing people’s creativity and having fun in the process. 

When I am not in my Anglesey studio I sing with vigour, drum loudly and cuddle any animal in sight.

My experience is in running businesses, art and drama groups. 

Since moving to Anglesey, I  spend my time between my business in Cheshire and my passion for painting in my hilltop studio.  When I’m not doing that, I run a theatre company,  enjoy acting,  music and all things arts. 

Hopefully I have a friendly and approachable style which will make your experience trouble free.

With more than 30 years of catering experience both at home and within professional kitchens, I look forward to providing you with the quality sustenance you require to thrive in your artistic endeavour.

Outside of the kitchen I am a regular visitor to Wigan to watch my favourite rugby league team, Wigan Warriors. And as an ex gym instructor I also like to keep myself fit and active.
