OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Alaina René Williams Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am a full time photographer in Knoxville, TN specializing in wedding and portrait/fashion. I knew my passion for photography at 11 years old and it grew even greater over the years. I began my business at only 18 years old and went full time at 21.
I believe in telling people’s stories, every story deserves to be told authentically and joyfully captured with a fresh and true touch of color.
This submission is about a production I hosted for women of color! It was to inspire them and others about how confident, radiant and strong we (as women) can be!
This production was to support, honor and recognize these women who have built a life of strength, confidence and success.
My goal is for other people to be moved by this as well and spread the light!
Let’s get the word out to support and honor the beautiful stories that have been told!

More Exhibits
The Yvette Bodden Exhibit
I share these stories because I believe the spirit of a woman is one of a warrior. We are designed to withstand pain but the magic is in transforming it into greatness. Human beings have the power to create beauty from any circumstance, if the belief in self-worth and love is strong enough to bring yourself out of darkness.
The Jennifer MacIsaac Exhibit
I have always wanted to learn how to make jewelry, metalsmithing to be exact. During quarantine, I began to explore YouTube videos on the subject. I have been having a blast learning, and there is still so much I want to discover about this medium!
The Shannon Deana Johnson Exhibit
I am a Knoxville, TN based mixed media painter. My process is intuitive. I work to create a balance between harmony and contrast, simplicity and accumulation, and stillness and motion. As the painting progresses, I often add more concrete elements such as botanical or figurative shapes. In this latest series called, “Story of a Girl,” I have been exploring the use of imagery connected to the idea of femininity and aspects of it that are meaningful to me.
