About the Artist

Jamey Hudnall was born to proud Mississippians and reared in Atlanta, Georgia, though currently, he lives and works in Natchez, Mississippi, his parents’ hometown. With big love for family and a penchant for their tall tales, Jamey lauds his Southern upbringing one painting at a time, occasionally pairing new works with personal stories (he calls Mileposts), sharing the inspiration behind his art.

Hudnall’s work reflects his relationship with the culture and landscape of the American Deep South. The images he chooses for his paintings are sourced from his own photography as well as his family photo albums. Combining charcoal and acrylic paint, he recreates familiar scenes in high contrast, presenting a new perspective on recognized sights from across the South.
