Extreme gives the woman a halo that shows her surroundings responding to and celebrating her beauty, her blackness, and her heritage. The woman’s profile elongates into a swirl that intertwines with her environment. This aura both encompasses and reflects her, depicting how her movements and her being make marks on this world. Williams decorates this path, adorning it with symbols that signify her milestones, her relationships, her impact, and her legacy. Williams’ small paintings offer intimate reflections on everyday Liberian life portrayed through a style that depicts people and their surroundings as abstracted impressions to capture their combined ambiance.
