DeGrazia Gallery In the Sun

We treated ourselves this morning to a visit to DeGrazia's Gallery in the Sun.  Ted DeGrazia was born in 1909 in the Arizona copper mining town of Morenci, to Italian immigrant parents.  He became an artist, got a degree at the University of Arizona and started turning out lots of art.  He bought ten acres in 1947, where Gallery in the Sun is still located.  From 1960 through the 70's, Ted DeGrazia became wildly successful. There are over 15,000 original pieces of his artwork at Gallery in the Sun.  The art is rotated regularly.  We particularly enjoyed the cowboy exhibit today.
