Meet the artist, Al Leitch.
Having always been interested in art, Al was fortunate enough to have been selected to participate in art programs for high school students at the Carnegie Museum of Art and Carnegie Mellon University.
However, he pursued an academic career in accounting obtaining engineering and business degrees over art. Al taught at the University of South Carolina for over 20 years, teaching hundreds of students, publishing over 60 articles in leading journals and . co-authoring three books. Upon retirement from USC, Al Leitch was named Distinguished Professor Emeritus.
Al renewed his love of art upon retirement by taking numerous workshops and becoming active in the Columbia art community. He studied under Michael Story and Linda Sheppard, both nationally known pastel artists, and served as workshop coordinator, Vice President and President of the Crooked Creek Art League.
"I love the beauty that surrounds us. Through my paintings I try to capture the majesty of His Creation and to bring some joy and happiness to those who see my work."
