“I always knew I wanted to be an artist. Luckily for me, my loving and supportive mom was with me every step of the way.  We spent many hours at the St. Louis Art Museum, art fairs and plays.  Those memories fill my heart and keep me going—she inspired me to be a free spirit and follow my dreams. So, I did.  I earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in Visual Communications and continued to paint and explore. 

My design career includes corporate and cultural, small and large-scale projects.” -Angela Williams, an artist and designer living and working in Evanston, Illinois. Learn more at angelawilliamsartdesign.com
