Hello again…and thank you so much for taking time to read this
newsletter. I hope you had a safe and happy Independence Day weekend!
Our family was so blessed yesterday morning (07/08/09) with the
birth of my first granddaughter. She is absolutely beautiful! We are so
thankful that she and her parents (my daughter Erin and her husband
Matt) are all doing extremely well. I have a feeling I will find a lot
of inspiration in this little bundle of joy for many years to come!
This exciting year in my art career just keeps getting better…in
addition to being accepted into several more exhibitions, one of the
national art magazines, American Art Collector, will feature me in a
full page article next month…details are below. As an artist, it is my
hope that the work I create will touch people in a meaningful way…that
it will find a special place in someone’s heart and in their home. It is
very gratifying to hear from so many of you about what my paintings mean
to you. Being an artist is such a gift, and painting for me is often a
very spiritual experience. It’s truly a blessing to share it.
Wishing you blessings and inspiration,
Debra Joy Groesser

Oil Painters of America Western Regional Juried Exhibition
I was thrilled that my painting, Laguna Cliffs II, has been accepted
into the prestigious Oil Painters of America Western Regional Juried
Exhibition. The exhibit will run from August 6th through 30th at Howard
Mandville Gallery in Kirkland, Washington, just outside of Seattle.
American Art Collector Magazine Article
What an unexpected and very exciting surprise it was to receive a call a
few weeks ago from American Art Collector Magazine. The editor of the
magazine chose me and my work for a full page “Artist Focus Feature”
article in the August issue of the magazine! They also included one of
my paintings in their July issue in an article about the Plein Air
Artists Colorado exhibition you read about above. If you love art, this
is a great magazine. Their website is www.americanartcollector.com
.
Upcoming Exhibitions
The next few months will be busy with exhibitions in five different
states, as well as ongoing exhibitions at Mountainsong Galleries in
Carmel, California, SouthWind Gallery in Topeka, Kansas, and The
Designers Furniture Gallery in Omaha, Nebraska. If you happen to be in
the area of any of these exhibits, please stop by…I would love to see
you!
