Biography
Williams’s abstract spaces are an ode to an imperfect language. Through motion, she makes marks that translate thought - subconscious – a viscerally understood language.
Williams works from her hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee. In 2009, she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Next, Williams received a full scholarship to complete her Master's in Printmaking in 2012 at SCAD-Atlanta.
Williams worked at SCAD‘s Southeastern Center for Printmaking. There, she worked on an ambitious print collection with Kiki Smith and Valerie Hammond. Initially working as an assistant printer, Williams was indispensable to the project and was promoted to assistant project manager.
On the heels of this project, Williams founded, managed, and co-owned Straw Hat Press, which specialized in fine art publishing and contract printing. As Straw Hat flourished, Williams realized that despite her success in printmaking, she would always be devoted to her love of drawing. Subsequently, she left Atlanta and returned to her hometown to pursue her career as a gallery artist, where her career soared.
In 2023 she was selected to be the inaugural artist with a solo exhibition at the Good Art Co. in Greenville, South Carolina. Additionally, she participated in Carrie Able’s Artist in Residence program last August, which concluded with a solo show, Unveiled at Carrie Able Gallery in Brooklyn in April of 2024. In the final months of 2024, she will be exhibited with Kai Lin in Atlanta, Georgia, Warnes Contemporary in Brooklyn.
