Who are The Five Graces?
Debbie Grayson Lincoln (the steady grace), Laurie Pace (the heartbeat grace), Conni Tögel (the wired grace), Diane Whitehead (the business-minded, directly spoken grace) and Mary Jo Zorad (the quietly inspired grace) have as many similarities as they do differences. Their artwork demonstrates a common commitment to a high standard of workmanship. To speak with any one of the five women reveals a commonality in what inspires them and how they choose to live their lives, with integrity and a commitment to doing their work for a higher cause. Each feels her creative inspiration as a passionate and natural calling.

What makes The Five Graces special/unique?
All members of The Five Graces create bold, vividly-colored artworks with an inspirational flair. Several of the group are excellent teachers and writers. They work energetically toward touring exhibitions that showcased their artworks - shows to the US and to Europe. As of today, all five artists are spread out over the US and have never met in person.

Where did the idea originate from?
The extraordinary group was inspired by the "The Group of Seven". The Group of Seven were Canadian landscape artists inspired by the wilderness paintings of Tom Thomson.

How were these five women chosen?
Since the Five Graces believe the commonality that brought them together was spiritual, it really is from this higher power out of which their commitment to honor integrity with in their profession comes.

What events are planned for time the artists are together in New York?
They are currently coordinating all the events. They plan to be giving radio and television interviews, teach master art classes, and they will paint day and night. They are also working on a secret special event. Clues and invitations to this special event will be available to visitors of their show. They will visit also Belhurst Castle to prepare for the second opening in early August.
