Ranada Williams

Greetings!! My name is Ranada and I am excited to share my drawings with you. I have been drawing for the past 40 years. Art has always been a big part of my life as has writing in my journals.

I was born and raised in Indiana and graduated from Indiana Wesleyan University with an Art Education degree many years ago. I have taught for nearly 20 years and have enjoyed teaching imagination and creativity. I also enjoy psychology, people's stories, animals and reading. I have two younger sisters that I love dearly and enjoy spending time with just talking or walking through a neighborhood. We have always been close and have enjoyed living in the world of education since both out parents have been professors at Indiana Wesleyan University.

I have taught elementary art for nearly 20 years in Indiana, New Jersey and here in North Carolina and have thoroughly enjoyed teaching imagination and creativity to the children. The greatest joy has been to see their eyes light up when they comprehend what they are able to create and share the excitement of showing the finished product to their families.

With each of my coloring/journals that I publish I share a part of my heart with you through the drawings and through the phrases, quips and quotes I find.

There are many things positive things that come from publishing my coloring books, but my favorite part is by far the feedback I receive from those of you that use them. I feel like I am making a difference in people's lives and that is truly a great feeling. I look forward to hearing from you and keeping in touch with each of you as to your impressions, your suggestions, your ideas, your likes and dislikes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for purchasing my books and enjoying the time coloring and writing in them.
