About Me

Eduardo Pineda is a visual artist and educator interested in the role of art in people’s lives. In 2009 he was commissioned by the Alameda County Arts Commission to produce five large-scale photographs for the public art collection. Pineda has painted over 40 murals since joining the Community Mural Movement in 1978. In 2010 he painted a mural with Joaquin Alejandro Newman for the Museum of the African Diaspora in conjunction with the exhibition African Continuum: Sacred Ceremonies and Rituals, on view until August 28, 2010. The duo produced three murals in 2009 for the Fox Courts Apartments in Oakland’s burgeoning Uptown neighborhood, and the Family Resources and Education Center in East Oakland. In addition, Pineda was commissioned by the GAIA Vaccine Foundation to create a mural for a health clinic in Bamako Mali, West Africa. He is a Student Teacher Supervisor at Mills College School of Education.
