The Melvin Case Christmas for Kids Foundation

  If you have been inside the Cotton Mill, you have probably noticed the fabulous artwork adorning the walls. What you might not know is that they are for sale and 100% of the proceeds go to an amazing charity foundation, the Melvin Case Christmas for Kids Foundation! Martha Case Nemer, co-owner of the Cotton Mill with her husband, Bob, started the foundation in 2000 in honor of her late brother Melvin as way to provide toys to underprivileged children at Christmas.  In addition, the foundation has helped support two need-based nursing scholarships a year at Tennessee Technological University, School of Nursing, since 2005!  All funding comes from the proceeds of Martha's paintings, exclusively at the Cotton Mill.

  Predominantly self-taught, Martha cites her greatest inspirations as "the fabulous Rosie Paschall and Joseph Sulkowski".  Her subject matter runs the spectrum from elegant still lives to more whimsical subjects, such as delectable-looking cupcakes, portraits of imagined characters, and quirky animals.    Depending on time frame and subject, she also does work on commission. Pricing falls into two categories, "Just for Fun" (acrylics and unframed works) range from $50-$150, with "The Serious Stuff" (oil paintings and framed works) ranging from $350-$2000.
