Bio:
Larry Leach taught painting and drawing for Louisiana State University during the seventies and eighties and Lamar University in Texas during the nineties. He holds a graduate degree in painting from NSU in Louisiana. Larry's work for the last thirty years has mostly been concerned with the rendering of the landscape in oils. His favorite theme is the first strong light of dawn and the last strong rays of sunset that rake across an untampered landscape. He is a studio painter and works from memory or watercolour sketches. Selected collections of his work include: The Art Museum of Southeast Texas, Alexandria Museum of Art in Louisiana, President George and Barbara Bush, Brevard Museum of Art in Melbourne, Florida, Four 4'x22' paintings for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Comission, Florida State Department of Health, Florida State Department of Revenue, and the Kaiser Corporation Headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. Leach's work can be also viewed in Several galleries in Florida, Georgia and Texas.
