PALETTE-ABLE - With her
paiiette and brush, Rosita Wil
liams finishes painting another
Volkswagen truck. In fiveyears,
ihe has painted over 500
VW vehicles for local commer
cial firms.
She Makes Pretty
Buck From Trucks
Rosita Williams is one artist
who baa been given the brush
both literally and figuratively
A <7 year-old native of Phila
delphia, Miss Williams came to
New York City a little over two
decades ago with one paint brush,
a few dollars, and a lot of de
sire. She obtained the brush af
ter attending the Pennsylvania
Museum of Art School. She got
the brush when she tried to buck
mala competition in the field of
commercial art.
To Late Then
To overcome what she describ
ed as "resentment” from her
competitors and "anxiety” among
her prospective clients who didn't
like the idea of a
working on a scaffold,
Miss Williams did what so many
other successful people have
done She hired a press agent
"The idea wa$ to have my

agent publicize my work — not
• — and make my appoint
ments so that my only contact
with the client would be when I
showed up for work," she
pointed out “In that way,
the client didn’t know he had
contracted with a woman to paint
his sign. By then, it was too
late for him to back out of the
deal.”
Nowadays, Miss Williams, be
cause of the reputation she has
built up during the last 26 years,
doesn't need e press agent. Her
clients are only too happy to
talk with her directly. Her press
agent, however, is still with her,
only now he serves as her busi
ness manager and assistant.
A specialty of Miss Williams
these days is truck painting. She
works for several Volkswagen
dealers in the area, Including the
Brown Balk Motor Corporation
in the Bronx, and Just recently
completed painting her 500th VW
truck — averaging nearly one
every three days for the past
five years. A number of com
mercial firms who have pur
chased VWs have Insisted on
having her do their art work,
sometimes for entire fleets.
