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 Mary Ruden Exhibit
My love for art was influenced by my Welsh roots, and my ability to explore museums and gardens in Europe. I am active in the Knoxville Arts Alliance and I participate in art shows in the state of Tennessee as well as surrounding states. For Women's History Month I have chosen to display a couple of different pieces I have curated over the years.
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.
The Archie Liggett Exhibit
I am inspired by grandmother. She grew up in the Roaring Fork community in Gatlinburg, TN. She lived to be 94 yrs old and loved to make things. First, out of need then for joy. She was fantastic. I hand stamp metal and vintage flatware to make jewelry and gifts. I have some of my work in local shops in Clinton, TN where I live.
