Black American multidisciplinary artist Shonté Young-Williams focuses on Illustration, Graphic Design, and Painting, with a degree in Visual Effects and Motion Design from The Art Institute. As a designer she specializes in album covers, social and digital marketing, as well as, merchandise. Her artistic output is a mantra of color, shape, and movement that mixes fantasy and therapy.
Shonte's personal work serves as a visual representation of her ongoing personal development journey, which is sharpened through understanding her identity and practicing self-care. In her painting process she sets the atmosphere with a playlist that includes a wide range of musical genres. Jazz in particular, has inspired her works to be largely improvisational. The sounds that she hears evoke an emotional connection that determine the colors and shapes that she paints. (WATCH HER WORK)
