Richmond native Michelle Williams has been a staple and an innovator in the local food scene for more than two decades, involved in creating some of the city’s most iconic eating and drinking establishments. Before Williams discovered her love for cooking, she was an Art major at Virginia Commonwealth University. Over the years she has used her artistic background by making ice sculptures for special events, creating floral arrangements for weddings, and designing her restaurants. Most recently she has decided to pick up a paintbrush and has found herself with a new passion creating colorful, vibrant abstracts on canvas as well as hand painted food safe charcuterie boards and colorful abstract beverage coasters.
