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 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.
The Sienna Prater Exhibit
I am inspired always by feelings and stories! I love to make art that has strong movement and color, and can convey depth and space in a new way. These acrylic on canvas paintings were all done in the space of about a month, and were all inspired by organic things in nature; stones, mountains, etc.
The Dorothy Verbick Exhibit
I am a middle school art teacher and a meditation/mindfulness practitioner. Before college, I had only taken an art class in elementary school. I doodled the comics (mostly Garfield), did NOT draw all the time, and did not have an encouraging family to support my art curiosity. Somehow, I still went for it.... art school made sure to let me know how far behind in knowledge I was...especially during critique.
