Jimmie Sudduth was born in 1910 at Cains Ridge, Fayette County, Alabama. One of his earliest memories is of painting a picture at the age of three. The son of an Indian "medicine lady," he recalls painting with a mud and honey mixture on the surface of a freshly cut tree stump while he and his mother were in the woods looking for medicine plants. When they returned days later, the painting was still there. His mother saw this as a good "sign" and encouraged him thereafter to paint. Finger-painting with mud-earth ochres and "sweet water" became a continual part of his life. He also experimented with adding color to his work by using wild berries, grasses and "paint rocks." He married an Indian girl at an early age, and they had one daughter. After his first wife's death, Sudduth married Ethel Palmore, his wife of more than thirty years, until her death in 1992. Together they adopted a young boy, Rance Maddov, who was an artist and later drowned. Sudduth spent most of his life working on rural farms.
In 1972, the first public exhibition of his work was organized by Jack Black, Sudduth's life-long friend at the Fayette Art Museum. Sudduth was selected as one of two artists to represent Alabama and traveled to the Smithsonian Institution for the Bicentennial Festival of American Folk life in 1976. The Birmingham Museum of Art exhibited his paintings in 1978 and two years later, he was featured on national television on the Today Show. "I've been all the way to New York City and my pictures are all over this world!" Sudduth lived in a small house near the railroad track with his dog, Toto. He died in Fayette, Alabama in 2007.

- Superb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait Painting, circa 1840By Ammi PhillipsLocated in Vero Beach, FLSuperb Ammi Phillips American Folk Art Portrait painting, circa 1840 We are proud of our acquisition of this authentic masterpiece by Ammi Phillips (1788-1865). The finely rendered portrait depicts an attractive young girl in a delightful lifelike quality. The pretty face is a refreshing change from the stern expressions of most of the paintings showing mature female or male sitters. Phillips palette is dark with a strikingly dramatic use of light to her face. The painting, on its original stretchers, is in untouched condition. The frame is period. This painting is unsigned, as are most of his works, but bares the unmistakable characteristics of a Phillips painting. Portrait of a young girl holding a book and wearing a golden whistle. From the New England estate of the renowned Folk Art Collector and scholar, John Bauer...Category
