Jae Williams is an artist, designer, educator, author, and the founder of GreysLion. For more than 35 years, she has explored creativity through art, storytelling, publishing, and design, helping others discover the confidence to create meaningful work of their own.
Her artistic journey began with graphite portrait drawing and acrylic painting, inspired by poetry, music, and the expressive qualities of the human face. Over the years, that passion grew into a lifelong pursuit of learning, teaching, and creating across both traditional and digital media.
With a background in art education and years of experience in graphic design, publishing, and creative instruction, Jae believes creativity is not reserved for a select few. It is something that can be nurtured, developed, and shared throughout a lifetime.
Today, GreysLion reflects that belief by bringing together art, story, design, and education to encourage lifelong learners to create with purpose, curiosity, and confidence.

Every creative journey has a beginning, and every artist has a story worth telling.
The Studio Journal is where Jae shares the experiences, lessons, and discoveries that have shaped her creative life. From works in progress and behind-the-scenes projects to publishing insights, design tips, and reflections on lifelong learning, this is where creativity comes to life beyond the finished piece.
Some entries may explore the creative process. Others may celebrate success, work through challenges, or document new ideas waiting to take shape. Together, they tell the story of a life devoted to learning, creating, and sharing knowledge with others.
Whether you’re an artist, writer, designer, educator, or simply someone looking for encouragement, the Studio Journal is an invitation to slow down, create with intention, and enjoy the journey along the way.

Creativity exists within all of us.
For some, it was nurtured from an early age. For others, it was discovered later in life. There are no age limits, no deadlines, and no gaps in knowledge that cannot be overcome with curiosity, perseverance, and a willingness to learn.
Your passion is your motivation. Create because you believe you can. Allow yourself to have a voice that will exist past your lifetime.
Through GreysLion, Jae’s mission is to empower lifelong learners by providing guidance, education, and creative opportunities that inspire confidence, build lasting skills, and encourage meaningful work.
Every lesson taught, every book published, every design created, and every story shared is rooted in the belief that creativity has the power to change lives.
Anything is possible, and potential exists in every individual.
This is Jae’s promise to you.
