Williams: A Photographer’s View. Paul R. Williams, known as “Hollywood’s Architect” was the first Black architect admitted to the American Institute of Architecture. Throughout his wildly successful career Williams designed over 2,000 buildings, including the homes of entertainment legends Lucille Ball, Frank Sinatra, and Barbara Stanwyck. In Regarding Paul R. Williams Ireland explores the work and legacy for Paul R. Williams through a series of intimate black-and-white photographs, exploring both the skill of Williams’ architecture and the social conditions under which he worked as a Black architect decades before the Civil Rights Movement.

Her work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions across the United States and internationally, and is held in the collections of institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the California African American Museum, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.
