Elroy Williams has a keen eye for what captivates. Throughout his decades-long career, he’s created art “to converse with the world, saying things that can only be said through the visual.” As a young graduate of New York’s School of Visual Arts, he built his creative commercial career in advertising while continuing to develop his painting and drawing. Williams’ earliest exhibition was a solo show at the Emily Lowe Gallery in Manhattan’s Chelsea art district. He’s earned design and concept awards from his industry peers, serving as art director in advertising and publishing in New York and Maryland firms. Influenced by his commercial work, his acrylic on canvas, among other media, has gained a large following and is found in many private collections.
