They were married for 67 years, and they traveled throughout the southwest collecting and sharing a love of the southwest\'s natural beauty and native cultures. For years they traveled to various Indian villages and rug sales while also promoting Aggie\'s art career. Aggie met artist Ted DeGrazia on a visit to Tucson who encouraged her to focus on painting and in 1967, she was invited to show her work in \"Gallery in the Sun.\" In 2007, she had a one woman show at the gallery.
