The Insite had a chance to meet nationally renown artist Kevin A. Williams last week. He is an artist whose work has been featured on television, magazines and in other mediums. Williams, who made a brief visit to Houston from Atlanta, is also known as talk show host Oprah Winfrey's favorite artist. His work sits in her home and Harpo Studios. Williams is also a favorite of FOX TV star Bernie Mac. The two even have an art collection together. Kevin is a very humble person. If you meet him he will never tell you about his greatness in the art world. After being forced by a friend he got on the internet and started showing his collection to an attendant group. Hey Kevin - thanks for dropping by The Insite!



BIO:

Kevin A. Williams is an artist on a mission, but his is no solo trip: He wants to take you on the journey, too. His destination is a place where more African-Americans will appreciate, own and even create fine art that honors their rich heritage and hope filled destiny. So far, tens of thousands of people have willingly followed Williams to that vista – including talk-show host Oprah Winfrey, and actor comedian Bernie Mac. From celebrity homes to small businesses, corporate offices and women’s spas, Williams’ original and lithograph artwork hangs from coast to coast.

In fact, his collection of 50 lithograph prints – created under the “WAK Artistry” signature – is the most widely circulated urban fine arts series in the nation. His art has been featured on television’s “Law & Order” (NBC) and “Soul Food” (Showtime).
