On this episode of Big Blend Radio, Lance Laber, Executive Director of the DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, talks about the art and life of Marion DeGrazia.
Born in 1905, in Upstate New York, Marion Sheret DeGrazia was a fine artist who had attended State Teachers College in Buffalo New York, and studied sculpture and modeling at Columbia University. She moved from the East Coast to Tucson, Arizona in 1941 with her young son Harold. In 1947, she married prominent southwest artist Ted DeGrazia. Marion was instrumental in the success of DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun, by managing the studio and allowing Ted DeGrazia to travel and show his art. After DeGrazia’s death in 1982, Marion continued the work of the foundation until her death in 2002 at the age of 97. Her work, which includes sculpture, paper mache reliefs and paintings, are on display throughout the Gallery in the Sun.
DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun is a 10-acre historic landmark nestled in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson, Arizona. Opened in 1965, it is home to over 15,000 originals of Ted DeGrazia art pieces including oil paintings, watercolors, ceramics and sculptures. There are six permanent collections on display and several rotating exhibitions each year. More: http://www.degrazia.org/
