Career
Williams’ career began in Hollywood, California, where she was a fashion illustrator for designers such as Michael Travis and in the atelier of Bob Mackie.[1][7] Following the suggestion of a teacher she decided to pursue the possible career as a court artist. While working as a fashion illustrator she went to an art show in San Diego, California, where she saw the courtroom art of well-known sketch artist Bill Robles.[1][8] After a meeting with Robles, she began to work as a courtroom artist.[7] The first court case she covered was the San Bernardino, California hearing of a child molester in 1980.[2][9]
After Williams met Robles at a trial in Los Angeles, California, that they were both covering and he began to mentor her.[10] The first high-profile trial she covered was the 1984 drug trafficking trial of John DeLorean for Los Angeles-based channel KABC-TV.[2] Later that year Williams returned to her native New York and began working as a courtroom artist in New York City.[10] While in New York City, Williams gained a reputation for reporting on white-collar crime.[1] She covered the trials inside traders Ivan Boesky, Michael Milken, Raj Rajaratnam, and Martha Stewart.[1] Williams also reported on the trials of financial figures such as Bernard Madoff, Bernard Ebbers, and Dominique Strauss-Khan.[3][11] Non-financial trials reported on by Williams include those of John Gotti, Times Square Bomber, terrorist Abu Anas al Libi, and Russian spy Anna Chapman.[2][5]
