McRae’s spring open house gives art collectors and gift-givers a unique opportunity to browse 22 artist studios, visit with the artists and purchase original art.

MCRAE ART STUDIOS, a collective of 22 independent artists founded in 1987, was established to allow member artists to work and mingle and to attract community attention to the area’s outstanding talent. McRae maintains the highest level of artistic accomplishment by bringing artists into the collective by a jury process. It has been home to many nationally recognized artists. Twice a year, McRae hosts open houses that attract thousands of visitors and collectors. For more information: mcraeartstudios.com.

Reviewer’s Comments about Rail Walking and Other Stories:
“Each tale is a compressed nugget of psychological insight into human
frailty and strength.”
“. . .that each character is unique AND believable is a tribute to the
author and her prolific imagination.”
“When this level of thought-provoking content is combined with
smooth writing, full of fresh metaphors, you have a series of stories
that are a true pleasure to read.”
