Chauncy B. Williams at birth was spoken over by his biological grandmother Ruthie Lee Johnson, that he had unusually large hands. Her visual of her grandsons “hands” has built a foundation of where Mr. Williams has come today. His foundation with Art began even in younger years from drawing on Sunday school books, to a multifaceted language of creating exceptional art. Mr. Williams' determination to envision how far his Art could evolve, took him from Carthage High School to Panola College to receiving a Bachelors in Fine Art in 2012. In 2009, another inspiration entered his life by the name of Desiree Harris, later to become Mrs. Desiree Williams, in 2010. She also saw his desire to motivate and influence others the way he was impacted. This lead him to the point of teaching his love for Art in 2017, at his first and only district, Winona ISD. In his spare time he enjoys playing the drums for church and creating art.
