My Story
Allie Manning Melton grew up in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina in a little artsy town called Flat Rock. From a young girl Allie Manning was discovered by teachers and family for having talent. She was constantly creating and drawing on anything she could. In high school she was in advanced art. It was in her senior year where she went through a life altering experience and stopped creating all together.
Allie Manning knew art was something she had always been good at, so after graduating she attended the Milan Art Institute. This decision was not because she loved art, but because she had no direction in life and art was the only thing she knew how to do. She had no idea how life changing art finding her again would be. She started creating and healed from her trauma and fell in love with creating again. This is where her relationship with God started to grow even deeper. He showed her how to live in love, not fear. She chose not to give up. She chose the life of her dreams. Allie Manning's art is an expression of moments within a journey. Allie Manning says, “Art found me again and this is my vehicle given by God to use and remind people that their life means something and they too have the strength to venture out and discover their true happiness.”
Allie Manning now paints in her studio in the countryside of Hendersonville, NC. Out her window she has green fields and mountains, where she gets a lot of her inspiration from. Allie Manning wants to bring you along to experience the beauty of life and spread Gods love.
