Willie R. Mayfield
Early On Willie's art teacher, Ms. Banks saw that he had
developed his skills). Ms. Banks along with his mother
Jurrie Kate encouraged him as he became an accomplished
pastel artist and instructor.

"I've done lots of experimentation in just about every
aspect of pastel.  As a pastel Artist and instructor my focus
is to help other artists along on their journeys into pastel.
My philosophy is that knowledge is meant to be shared
and passed along. I know that without the help of many
people I would never have made it this far in my career.
We live in a very individualistic society but I believe no
one succeeds on their own. Real success occurs when
giving to, and connecting with other people. I love to meet
young artists.  My goal is to determine how I might help
each artist gain in their skill and knowledge. A key
concept at the right time can unlock the door to rapid and
exciting advances in skills. I know that was the case for
me when at a workshop many years ago, I was exposed to
seeing color as a value. Sometimes learning is more subtle
and takes time to gel. Either way creating Art for me is
exciting and challenging. Feel free to contact me with any
questions you may have."
