In the 70s my mother gave me a decorative plate with DeGrazia's White Dove painting on it for Christmas. That was the beginning of my love for his simplistic style, primary colors and most of all his epictions of the people and places of the Southwest. Soon DeGrazia calenders, posters, ceramics and prints were everywhere. According to his biography from his DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun.

.....Returning to Tucson, DeGrazia found that no gallery was interested in exhibiting his artwork, so he bought an acre of land with $25 down at Prince Road and Campbell Avenue to build his first adobe studio in 1944, and also received a BA in Education from the UA. The following year he received a BFA, plus a Master of Arts titled "Art and Its Relation to Music in Music Education". New York sculptor Marion Sheret met the artist when visiting his Campbell Avenue studio. As she recalled, his first words to her were "Where have you been?" They married in the jungles of Mexico in 1947 and bought the 10-acre foothills site in the early 1950s to build what became DeGrazia Gallery in the Sun.
DeGrazia's paintings, ceramics and other artwork steadily attracted media attention including the NBC newsreel "Watch the World" and a profile in the 1953 National Geographic article "From Tucson to Tombstone." His fame flourished when UNICEF chose his 1957 oil painting "Los Ninos" for a 1960 holiday card that sold millions worldwide."
