About Levester Williams

Levester Williams (b. 1989) was born in Lansing, Michigan, and raised in Columbia, Tennessee. He received his B.F.A. in art and design from University of Michigan (2013) and his M.F.A. in sculpture and extended media from Virginia Commonwealth University (2016). He recently completed his master’s degree in computer and information technology in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at University of Pennsylvania (2024). Williams currently lives and works in Philadelphia, a city that—like Baltimore— incorporates Cockeysville marble into it its architectural and monumental landscapes.
