Jeffrey Williams

J.L. Williams paints under the name **Capasso** from his studio near Sandpoint, Idaho.

A U.S. Navy veteran with a background in aviation and engineering, Capasso brings a distinctly lived perspective to contemporary American painting. His work explores memory, contradiction, resilience, decay, faith, machinery, and the uneasy space between what America remembers itself to be and what it is becoming.

His subjects range from weathered trucks, service stations, and small-town landscapes to complex, symbol-rich narrative paintings examining war, technology, culture, belief, and human choice.

Across these bodies of work, the subject may change, but the lens does not.

Capasso works primarily in oil and draws heavily from realism, Americana, and surrealist narrative traditions. His paintings are held in private collections throughout the United States.

He studied fine arts at the University of Hawaii and lives and works in North Idaho.
