Local Artists in Means

“We love the work done by Debbie Graviss and Graviss Studios. The subjects of her paintings come to life on the canvas! We purchased several of her floral paintings and the most recent one is the focal point of a bedroom in our new house. We hired Debbie to paint a portrait of our beloved senior pug. She worked closely with us to capture him perfectly. We get so many compliments on the painting. We can't wait to get our next Graviss signature painting.”

“I was introduced to Denise Foster's work by an old friend of mine about five years ago. She had painted a little girl on a stamp and he happened to have one. As it turn out, it was one of her little grandchildren. What a lovely portrait. I called her to see if she did any other kind of painting, and could I see it? Luckily, I discovered what she calls, "abstraction of everything". She loves to take a subject, flowers, beaches, children, any subject really, and make it a little less confined, more interesting. Her use of color, and texture is second nature to her, every little shadow and nuance is not forgotten. The 'still life' paintings she does can change from old world to futuristic in the change of a canvas. Here is the first of Denise's paintings that I acquired. I hope her inspiration lasts forever. Thank you, Denise.”
