This exhibition features 13 block prints by Richard Leary. These prints were hand carved and most were printed as Christmas cards during the years 1968 – 1999. Leary and his wife are world travelers so many of the carvings are based on places they visited during their travels. Note that he signs many of his works ρλ (rho lambda) the Greek versions of his initials. Richard Leary is the father of the gallery owner.
