Hi! I’m Lindsey. Owner and creator of Signed by LS in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I’m the one behind the power tools, the paint pens and the creative mindset. I own all the tools. I cut, paint, stain, and hand-letter all my signs free handed (non stencil, no vinyl). I even wood burn! Since I was a little girl, I’ve always had a passion for creating. I stumbled upon trying out woodworking with my dad in late 2017, and have loved it ever since. I’m always finding another tool to join my collection, and forever finding new ways to put my artistic talent to work. No two signs/designs are the same. And there’s always something wonderful about authentic, real wood art that will last for years.
People are my favorite subjects to paint, and I create my portraits in oil or watercolor. I’m also known for my “Intimate Portraits of Automobiles” done in oil on canvas - painted as though they were human portraits. Oil is my favorite medium and I layer it to create a luminosity that brings the painting to life. I’ve painted everything from abstracts to sea and landscapes, animals and unusual design for my clients - doing murals and other interesting projects. I create and consult to fit my client’s needs and help them to find their happy place.
Hey, I’m Abigail! I’ve wanted to be an artist for as long as I can remember. I really like to draw plants and flowers, nostalgic items like vintage cameras and things that are bright and colorful. I usually start with a color scheme or a theme for a piece first, then start sketching ideas.
I enjoy drawing both in my sketchbook and on my iPad using Procreate. I think it’s great to be able to easily find reference photos and drop them into Procreate, just find an idea and start drawing. I also love the texture of drawing in my sketchbook.
A wedding photographer by trade, I fell into painting as a new creative outlet when photography became full-time work. I mostly paint impressionist landscapes, which fits my personality to a tee: dreamy, soft, and romantic. Nature has always been a driving force in all art that I make because I find its vastness and beauty so fulfilling.
Artist since childhood, expertise in realistic portrait drawings and found-object art, compared to that of Folk Artist Bessie Harvey. Having a connection with nature, especially trees; Holloway grew up in rural Tennessee in the 60’s using driftwood, roots, dried flowers, tree bark, seeds and even moss, creating art and re-defining an object’s character. This botanical relationship guided her away from racism and prejudice. The purpose of each work is that God will be looked upon and felt. The natural details influenced her to express encouragement using various mediums like pencil, crayons, ink, paint, and pastels with the found gems.
Chloe Melton is a 19 year old artist. She created Clover Fine Arts as a way to share her work.

"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 started making macrame and woven tapestries about 4 years ago as a hobby and that hobby has grown into The Weaving Rainbow. Each craft presents its own unique skills and challenges and I love the ability to transition between the two. I am drawn to the calm repetitious movement of working on a loom and the simple elegance that can be achieved when knotting rope in various ways. Each craft lends itself to different textures and color combinations that I love experimenting with and combining to form something entirely original.

We're The High Score. We design, build and repair arcade machines here in East Tennessee. We also create video game inspired merch, like t-shirts, hats, button sets, koozies, and greeting cards.
Life is messy and ugly and can be oh so gray. I started creating art as a way to find some calm in order to celebrate and be thankful for everything in my life. I found a great love affair with color. When you surround yourself with things that make you smile, you have more happy moments.
I am a SAHM in Knoxville who left the corporate scene in 2018. I have always loved art and really started working on my craft at the end of that year. Watercolor made me happy and I began an Etsy shop shortly after, with a specialization in pet portraits. I honestly love to paint anything animal and nature-related.
I design and create a variety of home decor and personal items using sewing (both machine and hand), quilting and embellishments with crochet, embroidery and my own sewn ribbons. I have my own sewing studio filled with sewing machines, a long arm, Cricut, and tons of fun fabrics! I love Creating new items that light up the faces of the recipients!!
RaBo Design is a husband and wife doing the art they love. Michael makes useful household wooden objects, such as Magnetic Bottle Openers, out of repurposed wood. Julie does Photo and illustration transfers and mixed media paintings.
I studied art, music and psychology at Carson Newman University with plans to be a music and art therapist for kids on the spectrum. I got married straight out of college and had a child that I needed to stay home with. I didn't paint again until I was 48 and bedridden for 6 weeks. Since then I travel extensively doing festivals, showing in galleries and various other exhibitions. Art has consumed my life and I'm having so much fun.
