Freda Fairchild, an internationally acclaimed printmaker, is the featured artist at Fallbrook's Brandon Gallery during September, capping a month-long series of regional workshops and special showings by the San Diego and North County Printmakers Association. Fairchild, a former San Diego resident and co-founder of the printmaking association, resides in Paducah, Kentucky.
Over the past 20 years her work has won awards throughout the United States and Europe. In addition to producing and displaying artistically intriguing prints, Fairchild has taught art at the secondary and college levels. Her work is represented in private collections that include the National Museum of Women in the Arts (Washington, D.C.), Grunewald Center for the Graphic Arts (UCLA, Los Angeles) and the Athenaeum Music and Arts Gallery (LaJolla, CA).
Brandon Gallery is the only place her art will be on display for the entire month of September.
