One might say that art was just in her blood.  Yvette Williams has loved art for as long as anyone can remember.  Yvette’s  first public art presentation was at the age of twelve  when she  won first place at her grade school for painting a calf for an American Royal contest.   This event was a turning point in the life of the young artist that encouraged her to pursue her dreams to become an artist.  

 Yvette is said to be a self-taught artist but has honed her skills, over the years, through a multitude of art classes.   Always the erudite, she is currently pursuing her graduate degree in art therapy at Avila University. 

 Yvette has exhibited her work in several local galleries in the Mid-Western state area.  Some of the galleries that have proudly shown her work are the Portfolio Gallery of St. Louis Mo, The Carter Art museum, The Kansas City Jazz museum, and the Nelson Atkins Museum in Kansas City.  Prints of her artwork are currently on sale at the Jazz Museum’s “Swing Shop” in Kansas City. Yvette has done commission work for The Minority Contractors Association, Michael Tombs of Story Tellers, Inc. and a variety of  private clients.  She won first and Second place for her body of work at the annual Arts Festival held in The City Market of Kansas City Missouri and is currently a member of The Light in the Other Room art association.
