Curator’s statement
Located deep in the heart of Texas, the hill country is one of the most picturesque places to visit in the Lone Star State. Growing up two and a half hours Northwest of this region, I have many fond memories that hold a special place in my heart. Personally experiencing this area as a child, teenager and now adult, I have found different activities, restaurants and experiences for all ages.
