About Michelle

Every sale pays Michelle directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.

Michelle Y. Williams is a Texas-based painter and sculptor whose practice centers on the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, finding beauty in the weathered and incomplete. Since launching her "Cut" series in 2001, she has developed a distinct language using industrial materials like torched steel, plexiglass, and concrete to explore texture and form. Her work is defined by a restrained color palette and a focus on the organic degradation of surfaces. By incorporating elements of rust and raw minerals, Williams creates abstract compositions that have been featured at major international platforms including Art Miami and the Affordable Art Fair in London and New York.
