Artist Talk with Dr. Marie Ramos

Earthly Garden: Artist Talk with Dr. Marie Ramos

Celebrating 50 Years of the California Arts Council

November 20 | 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.
East County Art Association Gallery
124 East Main Street, El Cajon

The East County Art Association proudly presents a special artist talk by accomplished fine artist and respected arts educator Dr. Marie Ramos.

A longtime pillar of the local arts community, Dr. Ramos served as Chair of the Art Department at Cuyamaca College and taught watercolor and numerous other studio-art courses. Throughout her distinguished career, she inspired generations of students, encouraging them to develop their creative voices and pursue their artistic passions.

Presented in conjunction with her solo exhibition, Earthly Garden, this intimate conversation will offer a behind-the-scenes look at the inspiration and creative process behind Dr. Ramos’s expressive paintings. She will discuss several of the techniques she uses to create luminous watercolor washes, intricate details, and richly imagined compositions inspired by flora and fauna. Look closely, how many hidden creatures can you discover within her work?

This special gathering will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of the California Arts Council and five decades of creative impact under the theme:

Honoring Our Past, Designing Our Future

For 50 years, the California Arts Council has championed the transformative power of the arts while celebrating and supporting California’s extraordinary cultural heritage.

Join us for a creative morning of art, inspiration, and conversation as we explore the world of Earthly Garden with Dr. Marie Ramos. Coffee and tea will be available from Diver’s Cup as we celebrate the enduring influence of artists, educators, and the California Arts Council.
