Willie Wayne Young

Willie Young (born April 16, 1942) is a 20th-century American artist. Young is mainly self-taught, and his work has been exhibited alongside other prominent outsider artists, such as Bill Traylor, Nellie Mae Rowe and Thornton Dial. The main body of his work consists of delicately rendered graphite drawings.

Karen Wilkin, who has written for the Katonah Museum of Art's recent exhibition catalog, described Young's works as “eerie, not quite identifiable orchestrations of silvery tones.”[1]
