I'm an Alabama native and Birmingham magazine editor who has lived and traveled all over the South. I grew up drawing and cartooning, but my frequent journeys inspired me to experiment with photography. With block printing—a technique I learned in elementary school—I reinterpret my photos of the city, state, and region, transforming them into bold graphic designs that bring new life to unique icons, highlight overlooked details, and exude a sense of place.

To date I have carved more than 120 images, and I’m always discovering new subjects to celebrate. I also get an inspiring kick out of classic advertising, letterpress and screenprinting, roadside Americana, and the faded painted wall signs seen in downtown Birmingham.

My art has been featured on HGTV, WBRC Fox 6, and Vulture Whale’s self-titled CD, plus it was recently spotlighted in Black & White, Birmingham Weekly, Birmingham Magazine, Pine Magazine, and Alabama’s state tourism Web site.
