A portion of the proceeds from the sales will help fund AAA charities, such as providing art programs to the elderly and Alzheimer’s patients and at-risk children and youth. Based on its motto of enriching life through art, the Alliance seeks to provide the public with original artwork of superior quality at reasonable prices and to serve the handicapped and underprivileged through art education and programs.

AAA Announces Featured Artist for Spring Show The Arizona Art Alliance is proud to announce that the featured artist for the Alliance’s Spring Art Exhibit and Sale will be Debra Jones of Scottsdale. Ms. Jones’ work includes oils, watercolors and pastels, and she has also recently developed a line of jewelry. Her subjects range from portraits of people to all kinds of animals. One of Jones’ specialties is animal portraiture. Her participation with the Arizona Artists Guild’s ZooPaint event at the Phoenix Zoo resulted in several portraits of the resident animals. She is also the official painter of the French Brittany Gun Dog Club of America. Jones is a member of the Mesa Art League, the Scottsdale Art League, and the Arizona Artists Guild. A resident of Scottsdale, her artwork can currently be seen at the AAA Window Art Show in the Town and Country Shopping Center and at the Vision Gallery in Chandler. Her work has most recently been shown in the “Faces of the Fallen” exhibit in Arlington Cemetery, the National Watercolor Society’s Touring Exhibition of 2004, the Pastel Society of America Show in 2001 and national shows in St. Louis, MO, Mobile, AL, in Englewood, CO, and in Seattle WA. Jones’ artistic awards include First Place in Watercolor at the 2006 Arizona State Fair, Artist of the Year in 2005 and 2006 for Mesa Art League, Artist of the Year for Scottsdale Art League in 2003, and honors from the Scottsdale Artists’ School’s Best and Brightest shows and at other league events throughout the Valley. “I paint anything with eyeballs,” explained Jones. “I find things that look back at me always keep my creativity flowing.” One of her specialties is doing pastels on suede board. The technique makes the most of the crisp lines and rich colors of fur, which is especially effective for animal portraits. The AAA Spring will be held at the Town & Country Shopping Center at 2103 E. Camelback (corner of 20th Street and Camelback) in Phoenix, April 18-20, 2008, in the northwest portion of the shopping center. Visitors may enter the Shopping Center from either 20th Street or Camelback, and signs will direct them to the show. This show is free to the public and parking is ample and free. Ms. Jones will have a large body of work on exhibit at the AAA show and will be present throughout most of the show to discuss and demonstrate her work. The Exhibit and Sale will open to the public at 10:00 AM on Friday April 18, 2008 and will run through 6:00 PM on Sunday, April 20, 2008. Daily times are Friday: 10-9, Saturday 10-9 and Sunday 10-6. There will be a Meet-the-Artist reception on Saturday, April 19, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM. The Arizona Art Alliance invites the public to attend the Spring show and to meet Debra Jones. Her work, as well as over a thousand works by the other 100+ participating artists will enrich the life of all visitors. More information may be found at www.Azartalliance.com.
