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)

More Exhibits
The Connie Flachs Exhibit
I am inspired by movement and human growth, physical, mental and spiritual. This work in particular is part of a series of dance journal entries that have enabled me to document a time of major transition (of career, personal life, and place) in my life. The female spirit, to me, is sensual, feeling, flexible, and deep.
The Emily McClenagan Exhibit
Jane & Pearl started during my twins' nap in 2015 as a way for me to create as well as give back to others. I am partnering with Thrive Parkridge in East Knoxville to amplify their work and donate profits to help with projects such as renovating rooms and spaces in their 100-year-old building. I love to paint live at weddings, watercolor home portraits, and of course whimsical florals.
The Shannon Deana Johnson Exhibit
I am a Knoxville, TN based mixed media painter. My process is intuitive. I work to create a balance between harmony and contrast, simplicity and accumulation, and stillness and motion. As the painting progresses, I often add more concrete elements such as botanical or figurative shapes. In this latest series called, “Story of a Girl,” I have been exploring the use of imagery connected to the idea of femininity and aspects of it that are meaningful to me.
