The Boca Raton Public Library will host “Visions of Color,” a free art exhibition featuring self-taught artist Alex Williams, at the Downtown Library from Dec. 14, 2026, through Jan. 22, 2027.
Williams was born in Jamaica and grew up across the Caribbean. His work draws on the ocean, the natural world and the movement of water, and his love of surfing shows up in flowing shapes, busy patterns and bright colors. He started painting in 2011 without formal training, and his pieces have appeared in private collections and local businesses.
He works mainly in acrylic on canvas but also makes prints, murals and stickers. Williams said he begins each piece with a blank canvas and lets the process guide him, rather than following strict rules. Rather than simply painting seascapes, he aims to capture the sense of freedom and energy that comes from being in the water, according to the library’s announcement.
For South Florida residents who live near the coast, the show offers a familiar theme approached in a new way. The library said the exhibit is open to the public during regular library hours.
“Visions of Color” will be displayed at the Boca Raton Downtown Library, 400 NW 2nd Avenue. Admission is free.
