What’s on the canvas? Only the artist knows! For each of the past seven years, rising local artist Heather Williams has produced a painting in honor of Faison’s Annual Market Day, and she is at it again. In addition to these creations, Heather also creates portraits, landscapes, and still life, which grace the walls in homes and businesses throughout the area. (Courtesy photo)
