INC's Accelerate Creative Conference will welcome Miami-based artist Shawn Williamson from November 1 to 2 at the Cohen Student Union of Florida Gulf Coast University in Fort Myers, Florida.
“The Artistic Saint,” as he is known, was raised in the charming landscapes of North Carolina, where nature’s beauty stirred a sense of wonder within him. His passion for art was evident from a young age, as he immersed himself in colors and sketches, art classes, and redrawing cartoons. Williamson was finding solace and joy in the world of creation. As the years unfolded, he discovered that art was not just a medium of expression but a divine calling, a path that would shape his life in ways he could never have imagined. Yet he left that world a few years after college to become an entrepreneur. With the fear mindset of struggling and trying to lead his life on that path for over 20 years, he ran in another direction.
The Accelerate Creative Conference will inspire and equip artists, writers, musicians, filmmakers, actors, and all other creative types. It brings together experts and leaders nationwide to educate, energize, and inspire the next generation of creatives.
“In June 2022, I experienced a profound loss when my father passed away. Grieving and seeking solace, I moved into a new chapter of my life but not intentionally within the next 6 months. But God had a different plan—a plan that would lead me to a sacred haven, an art studio not an office where I could commune with Jesus through each stroke of my brush and pen.”
In the stillness of his art studio, Shawn found a deeper calling—to glorify God through my talents and to illuminate homes and hearts with the radiant presence of Jesus. His art is a tapestry of emotions and devotion, seamlessly blending the beauty of stained glass scenes with the divine essence of Jesus Christ. Through vivid paintings and intricate drawings inspired by the verses of the Bible, Williamson seeks to inspire conversations about faith, love, and spirituality. Shawn’s artwork reflects the love of Jesus, sparking a light of hope within the soul.
