Courthouse Fair Vendor Spotlight: Melanie Kendrick Holley Watercolors! We’re so excited to have her join us for our Courthouse Fair this Saturday, September 26th!

Melanie Kendrick Holley is a mixed media and watercolor artist in Reidsville, North Carolina. A native of Patrick County, Virginia, Melanie left her career as an attorney in 2024 to live a slower-paced life and focus on her true passion: art. When Melanie is not creating watercolor cards and paintings, you can find her creating custom broken bottle art using recycled bourbon bottles, epoxy resin, and acrylic paint. Melanie’s art has been featured in galleries such as the Fine Arts Center for the New River Valley’s exhibition – Polarity, Floyd Center for the Arts’ juried exhibition – New Works 2025, and Piedmont Arts’ exhibition – Expressions, where she won Third Place in the 3D category for her piece entitled “No Means No, SIR.”
