About Jimmy Williams

I've been a creative person all of my life, growing up on the westside here in Chicago in the Lawndale area and hanging around the black panthers at the age 8-9-10, has helped me to see the real world and my escape was art, moving to the Cabrini Green area, then the Roseland area and now here in the West Englewood area, the colors I see are beautiful. Self-taught, my very first job as an artist was at a neighborhood screen printing shop called PT shirts where I work for free just to learn the business...my very first corporate job was on Michigan avenue, at a company called Parrot Color/Graphic Warehouse, I was a color production trainee and moving up to manager in 3 years, it gave me the confidence to move on in 5 years, I started Abstracts T-shirts (Sept.1990 to Aug.1995) near the Cabrini Green area…moving into my first home in 1995 and starting a home based business was easy and less stressful, now my life is filled with creating art concepts and growing as an artist, my visions and concepts are very well defined. My medium is Abstract Art Blending colors, moving and directing instruments to create new and complex layers and visuals, my goal is to become a premier African American abstract artist, I feel my work is ready for the auction houses where my work can take on a new life and find upscale collectors for my work
