I apprenticed under William Whitaker for almost three
years. Among other achievements, Whitaker is the official portraitist
for LDS Church President Gordon B. Hinckley and two Utah governors.
He comments that, “Molly Williams has a special gift for working
with children and painting their portraits. She possesses a rare ability
to paint a sensitive accurate portrait, and create a living likeness
of each child. I am very impressed by her talent.” * Click here to read more thoughts about my mentor |

I interned with Burt in New York City. (He is one of the Portrait Society of America’s lifetime achievement gold medal winners. Silverman's portraits have been featured in both The New Yorker and Time magazines.) He was such a sweet person to work with, and I have always loved his paintings! |

Don was one of my favorite teachers at Brigham Young
University. He was the first professor to really educate me
on painting an oil portrait. I owe him so much! Click here for more about Don. |

Morgan’s paintings have been extremely influential. He is one of my idols. |

I took one of my first Illustration classes from Bethanne, and she has been inspiring me ever since. Bethanne has this uncanny ability to make me cry every time I talk to her because she believes in people. She has an unending line of true-life underdog success stories. |

I met David in New York City where we became very good friends. He is a dedicated artist, and I loved our trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Check out his drawings from Italy on his website! [Sorry, David. This is the only picture I had of you!] |

| Mr. Detweiler, my high school AP calculus teacher, was the first person to buy some of my artwork, believing that I would make it big one day. Thanks to Karen Cottle for helping me edit promotional materials for my business. |
