Terrie Melton developed a love for art as a child watching her father paint oil landscapes, but not until adulthood did she start to experiment with painting herself. Any and all handcrafts interested Terrie and she tried a lot of things, among them pottery.


After much encouragement from family and friends, she began taking classes in oil and watercolor with local artists, Linda Putnam and Nancy Carter.
 
Terrie continues her study, taking many workshops and classes with well known artists from the United States.

Gerald Brommer, Carrie Brown, Judy Betts, Polly Hammett, and Karlan Holman have been the most influential in her style.



 
  Landscape and collages in abstract designs using rich bold colors are Terrie's favorite subjects.  

Terry has exhibited and won awards in shows in North and South Carolina. She is a member and past president of the Cleveland County Working Artists Guild and member and current president of the Southern Arts Society.


Terrie is a native to Cleveland County and continues to live in Shelby where she works part time as a substitute teacher and teaches knitting at Cleveland Community College. She has led workshops for children and adults, sharing her love for the arts.
