A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE

John M. Williams specializes in creating landscape and portrait collages of historical figures. In effect “painting with paper,” John uses hundreds of small pieces of cut paper to create a likeness of his subject revealing the person’s character as well as their historical significance. The results are compelling, multifaceted fine art collages.

!COMMISSION NEWS!

JOHN IS ACCEPTING NEW COMMISSIONS IN ALL CATEGORIES

Please use the Contact form to reach John directly. He will be happy to discuss your special project.  John will work closely with you to create your unique piece. He especially enjoys creating commission pieces, not only because of their great meaning to others, but also because it often gives him the opportunity to research an entirely new topic such as an historical period or interesting biographical information.

Some possible types of commissions include portraits, landscapes, biographical pieces, historical persons and events, pieces for children, and especially pieces meant as commemorations of birthdays or milestones for loved ones and friends, and many other topics.

You can see many pieces on the Commissions Page. Here are just a few:

 John Featured in Book 

John is one of the autistic individuals featured in A Primer on Autism Spectrum Disorder, edited by Dr. Christopher McDougle, Director of the Lurie Center for Autism at Massachusetts General Hospital.  Dr. McDougle asked John to write a chapter on his life experience, entitled "From the Perspective of a Person with Autism Spectrum Disorder". In his chapter, John speaks about the role of art in his life and how autism informs his work.  He described his collage process as a metaphor for living with autism. In the end, John hopes to inspire others and leave a lasting legacy through his work.  UPDATE: A revision of this book will be available soon.

Published by Oxford University Press, the book is available from Amazon:
