Melvin D. Nix

Melvin D. Nix is an artist, author, and spiritual teacher whose work explores themes of growth, resilience, and transformation. Born in Greenville, Mississippi, and based in Charlotte, North Carolina, his creative path began in childhood with comic book sketches in school margins. Inspired by Toy Story. He taught himself 3D modeling and motion design before returning to painting in 2020 as his main form of expression.

Starting with acrylics, Melvin expanded into watercolor and oil, using vibrant colors and symbolism to bridge the physical and spiritual. Melvin’s art invites viewers to reflect on their inner potential—seeds of change waiting to grow. His work has been featured in Charlotte and Greensboro Exhibits, and multiple shows across the Carolinas.

In 2024, he received the Arts & Science Council’s Emerging Creator Fellowship, which supported his studies at the NC Academy of Art and the Patriot Arts Foundation's Art of Valor workshops.
