The Escondido Art Association is dedicated to promoting fine arts in our community. Through our gallery on Grand Avenue we provide an outlet for our members and other local artists to display their work. We also host demonstrations by local and nationally known artists at our monthly meetings, providing a place for members to learn new techniques and socialize with fellow artists.

The EAA is active in the community of Escondido: hosting shows benefiting local causes, giving scholarships to local high school students, and even showing member artwork in downtown businesses. Anyone with an interest in the visual arts or the desire to support the EAA is welcome as a member!

Our gallery, The Artists Gallery, on Grand Avenue in Escondido, is open in the evening during the monthly Second Saturday Artwalk. We focus on representational art in all media. Admission is free and we offer a hosted wine bar and hors d'oeuvres. Come see the art and meet the artists!

FEBRUARY 2010 ART DEMO

Jeannie Palmer Moore

Watercolor and Fiber Artist

Artist Biography:

New techniques and materials have always inspired me to paint. I paint with watercolors, acrylic paints and dyes on a variety of surfaces. These surfaces include watercolor paper, Yupo paper, canvas and fabric. More recently I have begun to incorporate my paintings into Art Quilts with my dyed fabrics.

I have displayed a few quilts from my “Roundabout Series” at Escondido Arts Partnership Gallery. Quilting Arts Magazine has published numerous quilts of mine for the past 2 years. I recently demonstrated my techniques at Long Beach for Quilting Arts Magazine.

My “Grey Roundabout” quilt debuted with the “Edges” Exhibition at the Long Beach International Quilt Festival, July 2009. It was also displayed in Houston in October 2009. The October/November 2009 issue of Quilting Arts Magazine featured this quilt.

I have exhibited here locally at the California Center for the Arts, San Diego Watercolor Society, Quilt Visions, Art Walk, Grand Galleria, The Artist’s Gallery, Del Mar Fair, Escondido

My Graphic Design and Illustration background is evident in my style of painting. My art training began very early and by High School, I was awarded a scholarship to Art Center in Los Angeles. After obtaining my Bachelors Degree from California State University at Long Beach, I worked in the art departments of various corporations. Here in San Diego, I was Art Director at National Pen Corporation for over 6 years. From there, I chose to freelance for many accounts including Southwestern Cable and Cox Cable Companies.
