Mr. Locklear’s paintings, primarily depicting Native Americans, have owners worldwide and include the governor of North Carolina and baseball legend Pete Rose. One of Mr. Locklear’s paintings was even selected to hang in the White House. This scholarship is awarded annually to an Art major. The recipient is selected on the basis of artistic ability and/or need.
