These establishments provide a familiar setting while people build connections with their new surroundings and community. Williamson County has long been a place of faith.
23 Jul, 18UpcomingExhibit: As I See It by Sherry McRae
Statement from the photographer, Sherry McRae: In my photographic activities I like to create a special connection with whatever the subject of the day happens to be. There’s nothing like getting out there and exploring and creating my own relationships with Life, Nature, People, or whatever I may find. When presenting my photographic artwork, I want it to put a smile on the viewer’s face or to bring up a thought in their mind such as “Oh, I’ve been there,” or “Wow!,” or “How cute,” and so on. My images have won several 1st and 2nd place awards over the years; and I have taken photos for a magazine in Sun City for over 9 years; and best of all: I’ve loved every minute of it.
