She shared,“The geometric shapes and vibrant colors represent the joyful energy of the natural world, and remind us of the importance of taking care of our bodies and the environment.”

Jade Williams is a multidisciplinary artist that does extensive research on a subject to hone in on visual interpretations for her artwork. Her piece, ‘Her Strength Lies in Her Roots’ debuted yesterday at Sweetgreen Naperville in Illinois!
