Restored Art Installed at CAC

Four restored landscape paintings that long-time employees may have seen at a couple other worksites were recently installed at the County Administration Center. The oil on wood art represents County views to the north, south, east and west, depicting, respectively, mountains, Baja California, desert and ocean.
The large art pieces were installed in the south wings of the third and fourth floor hallways for employee and public view.
The County commissioned artist Leslie Nemour to create the series Seasonal Borders in 1989 for the lobby of what was then the Department of Social Services in Chula Vista. The paintings were relocated to the COC Annex. Over time, they required some restoration effort.
Nemour is an active Southern California painter and muralist. She’s taught at MiraCosta College, Southwestern College, UC San Diego, San Diego City College and Grossmont College. In addition, she’s participated in local exhibitions at Lyceum Theatre, the Escondido Center for the Arts and the old San Diego Public Library.
