About Jim Pajarillo

My work in Williamson at its core is based on helping creatives reach their potential and provide our area’s youth outlets of creative expression. I have a history of creating and organizing events big and small and am the founder of The HeArt of West Virginia (non-profit pending) organization dedicated to using arts and health to improve the quality of life of West Virginia residents. I’m also an avid instant film photographer working with Polaroid SX-70 film and Fuji Instax Wide formats. My photography can be found at IG @j.trix
