Ann Marie Williams is an
award-winning fine artist and illustrator residing in Reston, Va. She is the
winner of the 2006 National Cherry Blossom Festival® Art Contest, with
her entry prevailing over those of more than 70 other entries created by
artists from all over the country, and around the globe - including Japan and
the Netherlands. A graduate of Howard
University's fine arts program, Ms. Williams has worked as a graphic
designer, publications manager and art director, received numerous graphic design
awards, and judged several national design competitions. She is an Associate
Art Director with the American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS) in Washington, DC, and has taught graphic design courses at The
American University School of Communications. Ms. Williams recently
illustrated a children's book entitled "NAPPY" by noted author,
Charisse Carney-Nunes. This humorous and delightfully illustrated book is a
history lesson and educational tool for parents, teachers, and older children
framed within the story of a young girl's "nappy" hair. The book is
scheduled for release in January 2006. Ms. Williams supports
art education in local communities and serves as a member of the Board of
Directors for MTC Art Studios in Prince George's County, Md. The organization
provides art instruction for talented
and gifted art students in grades 1-12, and teaches the youth about
entrepreneurship, college preparation and involvement in their communities.
Recent group art shows include the Howard University Alumni Show, Embassy of
Ghana Ancient Traditions/Contemporary Art Show, the Fairfax County Arts
Council, Reston Art League, AAAS Spring Show, Tri-Nubian Art Expo, and the
Prince George's County Arts Council. Ms. Williams is active in her
church at First Baptist in Vienna, Va., and the Fairfax County Branch NAACP.
Her award-winning Cherry Blossom Festival® painting was on display in the
