Stevie Wonder - Young Money
by Kevin A. Williams $32,000

As a 17yr old, Stevie Wonder basked in the glow of his new found success. He can hear the melodic sway of the palm trees as a gentle breeze slow dances with them.

The sun above commands him to lift his chin. As it warms his face, he can't help but smile. He is draped in a blue, sapphire suit, tailored in the finest fabrics to hug his slim frame. A tiger's eye ring adorns his hand, a symbol of self confidence and inner strength. He leans forward on the finest of automotive masterpieces, the Rolls-Royce.

His gift has provided comfort and security for himself and all whom he loves.

About the Artist

Kevin A. Williams better known by the art moniker WAK, his initials backwards, is an American painter and businessman from Chicago’s Southside. He is one of the most celebrated figurative storytellers of this era with his collection of paintings being the most widely circulated urban fine art series in the world.

At the age of 15, Kevin A. Williams started working as an artist, on Chicago’s Historic East 87th Street Black Business District, drawing and painting images for clothing boutiques and hair salons. At 19, he became a cosmetology illustrator for Soft Sheen hair products which eventually led to a commission from Alberto Culver USA, to create "Standing Appointment" which depicts 4 women under hair dryers, for their Motions hair care line. It is regarded the most popular art image in the history of the hair care industry.

While developing his fine art line, Williams worked exclusively with the late Actor / Comedian Bernie Mac as his personal artist for over 15 years, creating over 20 original paintings, including a very important piece commissioned by the Actor/Comedian as a gift for Oprah Winfrey. The piece titled “Anointed Gift” was unveiled on Oprah’s televised 50th birthday celebration, and was regarded by her as “the most amazing gift”. This amazing gift currently hangs in the lobby of Winfrey’s Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa.

Kevin currently resides in Atlanta, GA.
