Cultured, September 30, 2025
As a child, the late artist June Leaf approached a teacher to show her a drawing she had made of a Biblical scene. Without even looking up, the teacher assumed Leaf was asking for permission to go to the bathroom. “I looked at her, and I looked in my hands, and I thought, Oh. That’s how it is. You can make something and you see it. But then you have to spend your life to get the world to see it,” Leaf recalled in an interview with Hyperallergic.
