OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Chloe Allison Melton Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am inspired by nature and energy.
I want to know why things happen.
I am very curious. In a way, my art documents that.
I also consider art my platform to communicate about important issues.
I love that I can use art to inspire others. It allows me to show viewers a perspective they may not have otherwise considered.
In a world where everyone is seeking change, I believe the pivotal role of the artist is to be a messenger of the many perspectives people have.
I also love to include empowerment as one of my themes.
The pieces submitted include:
- A clothing collection I did based on women’s empowerment
- A painting I call “Persistence” (based on the persistence of a strong woman)
- “Mother Nature” (acrylic on canvas inspired by an essay I wrote called: My Mother, Nature)

The Veronica Jones Exhibit
My name is Veronica and I'm the co-creator at Dale+Aran. I live in the US in Tennessee with my husband (the other half of Dale+Aran) and our 2 year old daughter. I changed the name of our shop a year or so ago when I first started working with clay. Dale is my Dad's middle name, mine and my daughter's. Aran is part of my daughter’s first name plus it is my very favorite place in the world....the Aran Islands in Ireland.
The Mera Ragsdale Exhibit
My paintings question the way we look at feminine bodies especially in comparison to how masculine bodies are viewed. In art history, the objectification and presentation of female bodies and an accepted way to present and view them has long been prevalent, specifically as non-threatening objects of sexual desire. My work questions these long accepted practices and empowers my subjects to visually challenge the viewer.
The Jessica Carr Exhibit
When I read the prompt, I knew I wanted to do a food recipe that reflected how strong my mom is. Strength can be shown in different ways and one of those ways is through adaptability and making the best of what you have. My mom has always inspired me to be a better person and an even better baker. I created Girls Gotta Eat Good Asian Bakery because she taught me to love food and to share that love with everyone.
