Micayla Williams Art
about
Micayla Williams is an emerging self-taught mixed media artist. Her passion for nature and color are seen throughout all aspects of her work.
She began painting in the beginning of 2023 where she explored the complexities of the female form with the beauty of nature.
In her work she uses multiple mediums including spray paint, acrylic, papier mâché, modeling paste, polymer clay, and recycled paint to create texture and dimension on her canvas. She uses vibrant colors as a statement of neutrality and inclusivity to connect with the viewer on a deeper level.
Her love for creativity pushed her to explore new mediums and in August of 2023 she began learning the art of ceramics while finding a way to express her artistic style.
In her ceramic collections she continues her signature style with the use of vibrant colors, multiple textures, and influences of nature. Curves and interesting angles with contrasting design elements continue to give her artwork new dimensions.
artist philosophy
"As an artist I am in a constant state of exploration and experimentation, which allows me to push the boundaries of my creative process. This emotional connection with my art allows me to create pieces that bring beauty and joy to any space fostering a deeper appreciation for the world around us.
When I sit down at my wheel, I allow the clay’s inherent qualities to guide me and embrace the organic form it wants to take. I enhance these shapes through meticulous sculptural work imbuing them with a sense of movement and life with the use of florals and vibrant colors. By mixing contrasting colors with the clay’s natural qualities, I aim to add depth and dimension to my work, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world of color and texture.
​
I channel this same energy when I put a brush or palette knife to my canvas and allow the paint to guide my strokes through a journey of movement. I use multiple mediums to enhance the texture of the canvas giving my paintings depth and dimension that take the viewer on a emotional connection through the use of color. This sculptural curiosity is what inspired my exploration of ceramics.
​
When I am creating my art I am dancing around to music that makes me feel happy and full of life. I hope when someone looks at something I've created they can feel that same transfer of energy and happiness and welcome my work into their space."

My art is inspired from the world around me and the beauty within while showcasing the relationship between
femininity and the beauty of nature.
