Dr. Joni Henry Noble, associate professor in the University of Louisiana at Monroe
School of Visual and Performing Arts, will display her work at The Big Easel Juried
Art Competition. The exhibit takes place on April 11 in Lafayette.
Noble is excited and honored to be a part of the competition. The artwork that has
been selected includes black and white pictures of cities she visited including as
Berlin, Paris and London.
鈥淓verywhere you turn in Europe is another photo opportunity, so it is easy to be inspired
by the cities and the landscapes,鈥� she said.
The exhibit will also feature her 鈥淩ectilinear鈥� series, a collection of acrylic paintings
created with pixilating techniques. Unlike her black and white photographs, the canvases
are wildly colorful.
Not new to recognition, Noble鈥檚 work, 鈥淗ampton Court Palace Gardens,鈥� won the award
for Best Photograph in last year鈥檚 show.
鈥淲e are so proud of our talented faculty. I attended the Big Easel last year and was
very impressed with Joni鈥檚 work. I am looking forward to visiting the exhibit again
this year,鈥� said Dr. Sandra Lemoine, dean of the College of Arts, Education, and Sciences.
鈥淭his recognition demonstrates that the faculty in our college are highly qualified
and can share first-hand knowledge and experience with students.鈥�
Noble received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the University of Louisiana
at Monroe; a Master of Fine Arts in Photography from Louisiana Tech University; and
a Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Art Education from the University
of Texas at Austin.
She has taught at 网曝门 since 1997, and she is currently involved with The Catalyst,
The Village and The British Studies programs. She is a member of the National Art
Education Association, the Louisiana Art Education Association, Kappa Delta Pi, and
Phi Lambda Theta.
