Mallory Ingram’s Art Chosen for 2025
Mallory Ingram of Robertsdale, Alabama, has been named the winner of the 21st Annual Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival poster design contest. Her artwork will serve as the official poster for the 2025 festival, which will be held May 1-3 at OWA Parks & Resort. In addition, Mallory’s design will feature prominently on the festival’s official t-shirt and other merchandise.
A Baldwin County artist, Mallory is best known for her pet portraits and paintings that celebrate homestead living. Her art is deeply inspired by a passion for slow living and a sense of nostalgia, which she weaves into each piece. Outside of her creative work, Mallory spends her time with her husband and two children, enjoying the outdoors, gardening, and tending to her family’s homestead, The Piddlin’ Farm. Through her artwork, she seeks to honor traditional ways of life and encourage others to find beauty in the simplicity of everyday moments.
Official posters and t-shirts will be available for purchase at the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival or through the website, gulfcoastballoonfestival.com.
