This is the first exhibition to ever tell the story of Nancy Lea, wife of Tom Lea, an El Paso born genius muralist, illustrator, war correspondent, portraitist, landscapist, novelist and historian. The exhibition reveals a woman of extraordinary talent and perception, who wrote with a philosopher’s pen. Included in the exhibition are the rare Carl Hertzog copy of the Notebook of Nancy Lea from the C. L. Sonnichsen Special Collections Department in the UTEP Library, and never-before-seen photographs of Nancy Lea.
