Alabama Public Radio is proud to share the work of local artist Abi Brewer, who created an original painting exclusively for the station. Views of Home is done in collaboration for APR's 2025 Fall Pledge Drive, happening from September 10 - 19. The art is what Abi calls "a love letter to Alabama." The painting celebrates the different flora, fauna and landscapes of the Yellowhammer State.
