Opening Reception for William M. Jones III

William is a new artist who's ready to hit the art world by storm! Allow me to share a few things with you, about him. William is a 46 year old father to four boys and one girl. He has been a barber for over thirty years, but always knew how to draw, since grade school. He didn't know that art was his true calling and passion, at that point and time of his life. He always showed his artistic skills by doing creative designs on his customers who always look forward to getting their hair cut by a master barber. Then one day, he decided to pick the pen back up and started drawing again, but that wasn't enough. William wanted to venture into the world of art, on canvas!

He taught himself how to paint on canvas, the same way he taught himself how to cut hair at a very young age. All of this came through countless hours of observation and photographic memory. His style of art is parallel to his style of barbering, very free stylistic and abstract. It also symbolizes his style of living, which is very humble and free. He understands that we have no control over anything outside of ourselves, which is one of the most key factors in life.

William is an active parent in his children's lives, as well as a leader in his environment of employment and community. He realizes we all need help and guidance throughout our lives and advocate for everyone to be able to receive the right guidance. He loves mentoring, as well as being mentored. His YouTube mentor was a key factor in his transitioning to the art world “Ralph Smart at Infinite Water”.

Let’s get ready to enjoy William's work and allow it to move you internally, with a euphoric twist that can be very therapeutic for the soul. He's just having fun and wants to express his happiness to the world!
