Debra Keirce • Studio Stories

WAOW does so much to promote our artists. Studio Stories are one of these. But recently, Nori Thorne sent out a call asking our members to share if they have any work in permanent collections. Jan Delipsey is collecting this information from all active Women Artist of the West Members.
I am proud to have secured relationships with several government, corporate, and museum venues over the course of my career. I am even prouder that they chose to acquire work of mine for their permanent collections. Here is a sampling of some of the pieces I have throughout the world.
I have work in several permanent collections.
The Langham Hotel in Boston has 3 of my miniature oil paintings in their bar area, The Fed. They have 8 of my narrative 40”x30” portraits in their restaurant, The Grana. Here is a link to the full story with all the titles and descriptions of the works:

The US Coast Guard Art Program has accepted 17 of my oil paintings into their permanent government collection. Here is a link to all 17, plus one they rejected because they thought it was a collage, even though I explained it was oil paint, made to look 3D like a collage:
