Sullivan (Sully) Williams, a mixed-media artist residing in New York City, discovered their passion for the mystical and magical aspects of film from a young age. This fascination guided their journey into special effects makeup, sculpture, and painting. During their time at Azule, Sully honed their skills in portraiture, experimenting with techniques to create hyper-realistic and moody representations of significant individuals in their life.
Sully’s residency aligned with the height of lightning bug season, syncing perfectly with their intent to experiment with reflective PanPastel paint. In our recorded conversation, Sully speaks about how the natural world surrounding Azule provided a stark contrast to their usual artistic settings, alongside the importance of patience and trusting your instincts as an artist.
