Modern Artist in a Historic City

Artist Enid Cloyed is based in her hometown where history and art collide.

Williamsburg is the perfect destination spot for those looking for local art and the historic culture that you can experience can’t be beat.

Every second Sunday from 11am to 5pm, March to December (11am-4pm in November & December), you can stroll the streets of Colonial Williamsburg and purchase goods from local artisans. Second-generation artist, Enid Dorsey, grew up in Williamsburg and vended at many festivals with her family; George (father), Ellen (mother), and her sister Emma.

Master Silversmith George Cloyed’s work mostly features designs by his wife Ellen Cloyed, and more recently incorporated one of Enid’s original designs.

Enid celebrates neurodiversity and acceptance, she says, “Meditative drawing helps me to focus and relax at the same time… drawing and art can be used to calm the mind and get into a ‘flow state’, it is very therapeutic ” (June, 2022). Her mandalas can be seen on rocks, furniture, necklace pendants, and even vintage cigar boxes.

Enid has grown up in a family of artists but really hit her niche after finding abandoned art on rocks. The Kindness Rocks Project is a kindness movement where you paint and hide rocks at random, art abandonment if you will. Practicing drawing on rocks; she naturally moved to different mediums and can even be found drawing in her tent on 2nd Sundays in Williamsburg.
