Brandon Williams was born in Easton, PA with a passion for art. While pursuing art academically, his interests in precise drawing, attention to detail, and processes, led him to printmaking. He enjoys the diversity and complexity of the medium along with its unusual challenges, technical difficulties, and surprising results. In 2013 he received his BFA from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania with an emphasis in Printmaking and in 2017 he received his MFA from Kansas State University.
He has held teaching positions at Kansas State University and Oklahoma State University before arriving in Nashville, TN in 2019. Currently, Brandon is an Assistant Professor of Art in Printmaking/Studio Art for the Watkins College of Art at Belmont University where he teaches a variety of art courses and continues to uphold an active and engaged studio art practice.
He specializes specifically in intaglio printmaking where he creates prints utilizing contemporary techniques, approaches, and imagery focusing on the competition between the built environment and the natural environment’s impact over time. His art has been displayed nationally and internationally in invitational and competitive juried exhibitions and publications. He continues to make prints to this day while also participating in residencies, workshops, and lectures. You can view more at brandonwilliamsart.com or on social media @rembrandn.
