For two years, Williams traveled the South, capturing the faces & souls of these men and women.  Through the Music Maker Relief Foundation, he connected with these musicians, with their pasts and with their monumental talents. And thanks to the foundation, many have been given a new stage, a new spotlight that has made their lives and ours much better.

These are proud and soulful individuals blessed with notes and chords in their bloodstream, and blessed with the ability to endure and overcome.

Williams has created a series of limited-edition fine art prints for public/gallery purchase at www.Jimmywilliamsfineart.com. Locally, Williams’ work is exhibited at Somerhill Gallery, Durham, NC. To support the continued growth of these artists, a portion of the print sales will be directed to the artists/Music Maker Relief Foundation.
