Artist

Janay Williams

I have always had a love for creative expression through many forms of art (dance, drawing and painting, yoga, writing), which led to a development of interests in the movement of words, thoughts, ideas, feelings, and energy through my mind, body, and spirit. In my art, I depict my emotional and natural connection to the world inside and outside of me -- those internal journeys, as well as those bonds of all our shared experiences. I seek wellness and community amongst my people, and I hope that the joys of life that seep onto the pages set ablaze beautiful mosaics, diverse flavors of nature, and the tastes rooted in the layers of diasporic waves -- all of which live in and through us.
