NATCHITOCHES, La. (WNTZ) – Louisiana Christian University assistant professor of art Hannah Fulton has had her work accepted into the First Annual Regional Competition and Show sponsored by the Natchitoches Art Guild and Gallery.

Fulton is among 22 regional artists selected to exhibit in the juried show. Her painting, titled Mint Chocolate, is an acrylic on canvas inspired by summer days at the Sabine Creamery in Hemphill, Texas.

“The theme was summer,” Fulton said. “Some artists did landscapes, mythological, allegorical or abstract works. I took inspiration from Sabine Creamery. I took ‘summer’ very literally. I was enjoying cold ice cream in the air conditioning. There was a bit of humor in it.”

The exhibition will open Sept. 15 at the Orville Hanchey Art Gallery on the campus of Northwestern State University. A reception will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.
