American Modern Artist & Sculptor Emmett Williams, devotes a lifetime of study to capturing live music musicians on canvas. His works document his understanding of how musicians create, and imposes his graphic insights over their images as the play. His study of art began at an early age. He studied street life on the streets of Washington, D. C. notorious 14 th corridor in the mid '70's. Pimps, junkies, cops, and drug dealers found themselves in his sketchbooks. He travelled to Atlantic City where he studied patrons and hostesses at The Playboy Club, and later in life gamblers and casino staff as well as performers and showgirls. His visual input on musicians developed and eventually landed him exhibitons in multiple galleries as well as a museum in Greenville North Carolina in 2008. The furniture in dustry executives found their way into his studios in Greensboro, NC and his equestrian imagery has been fixtures at the High Point Furniture Market for over a decade.
