Williamson uses mediums including oils, pastels and sculpture, her favorite being watercolors. She has developed and refined a technique of using regular household bleach on black paper. Her subject matter varies, but she usually works best with people and horses.

Williamson received a bachelor of arts degree in studio art from Chico State University in California and studied at Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.
