DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun






We had a really nice visit with Nikki and Bill today and walked over to this studio. It is on a 10 acre foothills retreat at the base of the Catalina Mtns. It is an adobe complex with floors of cactus rounds, stone, brick and concrete. This acclaimed Arizona artist uses many bright colours and has a south western/Mexican style. I loved his work. His studio was re-enacted with a bottle of Chivas Regal by his easel. There was an outdoor chapel with a cross of the roof and a door made of saguaro cactus spines. It was pleasant wandering through the cactus garden with different sculptures and stars placed everywhere.
