Nationally recognized landscape painter Joellyn Duesberry divides her time between studios in Denver, Colorado, and Millbrook, New York, and has painted plein air around the world. She began exhibiting in New York City in 1979, and has since had fifteen New York solo exhibitions, with recent retrospectives at the Century Association, Denver Art Museum, and the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center, summer 2011. In 1986, she was awarded a National Endowment for the Arts grant, which enabled her to work with Richard Diebenkorn who encouraged her to try monotype printmaking. Since that experience, she has actively produced and exhibited monotypes alongside her plein air paintings. An exhibition of her monotypes, The Covenant of Seasons , was organized through the Virginia Art Museum and traveled nationally for a decade. Duesberry's paintings are in numerous museum, public, and private collections in the United States and abroad. In 2005, a PBS documentary, Joellyn Duesberry: Dialogue with the Artist , was made of her life, work, and creative process. See less
