Oshun Williams

Join us for a design talk with Oshun Williams, moderated by Kiana Wenzell.  Oshun Williams was born and raised in Pontiac, MI. He is a self-taught emerging artist rapidly flourishing in the Metro-Detroit arts community. Known for his unique complementary style, Williams applies his own chenille patches to his works of art to add a mixed media touch to his pieces. He paints with acrylic on canvas and occasionally uses newspaper to perceive texture throughout his pieces. He is a dedicated father who admires painting gratifying images of his two beloved daughters. Williams states that he paints to generate as many assets as possible to create a legacy to his children because of his strong belief in sustaining generational wealth.  Light refreshments provided by the Siren Hotel, "The Official Hotel of the Detroit Month of Design."
