Art is a gift to treasure, especially when made by a young person. That’s why Austin Peay State University is reminding the community that limited edition prints are available for purchase to benefit the Natalie Jo Welch Scholarship in Art.
The prints are of the paintings created by Welch, an APSU art student who died in 2004 at the age of 22. She had just transferred from APSU to start art school at Savannah College of Art and Design. Her mother, Jenny Welch, established the scholarship in 2005 in her daughter’s memory.
Her work can be viewed online at http://www.apsu.edu/Development/natalie_welch/. Some of her work includes “The Roxy,” which shows the popular theater on Franklin Street in downtown Clarksville, “Roaring Twenties,” Sullivan’s Island Lighthouse” and “Sunflowers.”
To make a tax-deductible donation to the scholarship, send a gift to APSU University Advancement, Box 4417, Clarksville, TN 37040 or purchase one of the limited edition prints.
