Stately Made

egion and state. It gave me a sense of state pride and an appreciation for my own family history, the roots I had come from. After I took a formal calligraphy class, my two passions began to intersect in the form of hand lettering quotes and bits of state and regional culture. I took a particular interest in state foodways, because no matter where you call home, food is a sweet (and savory) reminder of the kinship and traditions you share with others, both family and neighbors. Once I created a food print for Alabama, I knew I had to keep going for all 50 states!
