Quote from artist:
It is my pleasure to dedicate these illustrations to my family. Firstly, my mother, Gladys Crisp Williams, who took me to the store and bought my first art supplies at age 10 and paid for private art lessons with two wonderful teachers.
Secondly, my brother, L. George Williams Jr., who loaned me my first startup money in 1975 which established my business, Sherry's
Portrait Co., which grew into Thurston Art Gallery. Thirdly, the Thurstons, my creative son, Will, and my daughter-in-law Inga,
grandchildren Hunter and Haley. Haley is my inspirational little girl, and my other son, Josh, helps me create wonderful websites.
This
project has been a big surprise to me and has pushed me in another direction artistically. Three Wishes has made me grow as
an artist even with 30 plus years of experience. Through it all, I found a new set of goals in my mind that I wanted to reach.
I think there will be more books in the future. Also, I want to thank Sara McMillian for a very creative narrative. It
is my hope that you will enjoy the story and illustrations as much as we did in creating them.
