McCune, a native of Hamburg and a retired Pulaski County Special School District teacher, is the only Arkansas artist with a work in the exhibition. The painting is part of her “Southern Scenes” series, depicting her life in southeast and Central Arkansas. Her work was most recently on display in a solo exhibit, “Southern Culture,” June 17-July 10 at the Acansa Gallery in North Little Rock.
