Photo walk to honor late Nolensville photographer
| |
By Jodi Rall • Staff Writer
The Artist Guild of Nolensville will host a photo walk on Saturday, Jan. 8, to pay tribute to the late Sue Henry, a gifted local photographer who passed away in 2021.
After Henry died, her husband, Jack, donated prints to the Artist Guild in her honor. He then approached the group about a way to pay tribute to his late wife’s life and artistry.
Henry used to take daily walks, and her photography was often inspired by what she saw and the beauty of nature and life that surrounded her. She compiled many of her photos into a book, “Honoring Historic Nolensville.”
