Eric Melton
Kannapolis NC artist with a lifetime commitment to his art.
One of my favorite quotes comes from one of my favorite sci-fi shows Dr. Who.
The line delivered by Matt Smith was “We are all stories in the end, just make it a good one eh?”
I believe in living life to its fullest and ever since I figured out my passion of art I have not deviated from this path. Being an artist has opened so many doors for me and truly changed my life for the better. Without the talent for drawing I’m just like everyone else. But when I pick up an instrument ot create I feel transformed into something greater than myself.
