Dr. Joni Henry Noble, associate professor of art at the University of Louisiana at
Monroe, was recently accepted in The Big Easel Juried Art Competition.
The competition will take place in May 2014 in Lafayette.
Ahead of the competition, Noble’s work will be on exhibit at The Lounge Gallery in
Lafayette in March and April, 2014.
Noble’s black and white photographs taken in Berlin, Paris and London throughout 2013
were among the works accepted, as well as her “Rectilinear” series of acrylic on canvas
paintings which Noble has executed over the past two years.
Jeffery McCullough, Curator, stated, “Of the 27 new artists applying for a spot in
the 2014 Big Easel, only five received across the board ‘YAYs’ from the seven jurors…So
to get a YAY from all seven jurors means your work is outstanding.”
In addition to this competition, Noble’s work has also been accepted in two other
juried shows sponsored by the St. Tammany Art Association.
Noble earned a BFA from Northeast Louisiana University (now ULM), an MFA 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 began teaching at ULM in 1997.
