Jean DeFreese Moore

Jean DeFreese Moore began writing in high school and was awarded membership into Quill and Scroll, a national honor society for high school journalist. She continued writing as a contributor to her hometown newspaper. She has also researched and completed a collection of stories on the DeFreese family history, dating as far back as pre-revolution in American history and into Europe pre-Reformation.

Moore received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Louisiana Tech University. She was one of many contributing artists to paint the entry hall mural at the Lincoln Parish Historical Museum housed in the Kidd-Davis House built in 1886. She also served several years as set designer for a dance academy and has taught art at a private Christian school. Most of her career was spent in Athletic Media Relations at her alma mater.

Jean is an accomplished artist. Her exhibit “The Life of Jesus in Acrylic Pour” was scheduled to be a part of the showing, “Risen: An Easter Celebration,” which opened the same week the Covid-19 virus shut down her city. The showing was quickly changed to an online exhibit and was viewed over 31K times on social media and 1.2K times in video form. The exhibit has now been shown, in full or in part, continually for over eighteen months in four separate venues.
