About

William B. Livingston III

  

My entire life, I’ve been a musician, but I’ve always wanted to be an artist. Before going to prison, I never felt comfortable enough to pursue any sort of endeavor in art. The only time I would attempt any art happened late at night, following a bout of heavy drinking. 


In 2010, I was sentenced to fifty years in prison for the death of a man that I caused by drinking and driving. Since music was not an option for the first three years of my incarceration, I decided to finally pursue painting. After some experimentation, I managed to find a style and voice inside myself and dove in completely. Just as with my musical upbringing, I am self-taught.


I have recently been released after having been incarcerated for more than twelve years and continue to make art in many different media. I have spent countless days working on paintings and other projects for charitable causes such as the Justice Arts Coalition, Special Olympics, Employment for the Disabled, the Messages Project, The Outsiders House Renovation, National Legal Aid and Defense, and many other nonprofits to raise operating funds.
