Sue Williams (1954) is a contemporary American artist living and working in New York, NY.

Williams explores issues of gender and the body. Through concealed messages in abstract painting, her vibrantly colored and highly specific work serves as a foil to the male-dominated Abstract Expressionist movement. “I want to draw attention to issues; I want people to be informed,” Williams has said. “If I have visibility, I have the responsibility to try and change things.” Her early paintings were cartoonish, but challenged feminist artists like Judy Chicago by exploring controversial themes—domestic violence, sexual obscenity, and sexism.
