RAL will display two exhibitions featuring work from their Fine Art Collection from June 13. The DeWitt Gallery will display “Inside the Studio of Ethel PB Leach,” curated by Collections Committee member, Ellen Roney Hughes through July 27. Ethel Pennewill Brown Leach was known as a leader of women painters in Delaware for the first half of the twentieth century and was a founding member of the Rehoboth Art League. The league has an extensive collection of Leach’s work, which includes oil paintings, etchings, illustrations, drawings, and personal diaries. In 2024, RAL was gifted a collection of Ethel’s studio equipment such as her easel, camera, woodblock cutting tools, and many of her sketches and illustrations. With these pieces on display surrounded by her art, this mini-exhibition gives a glimpse into what Ethel’s studio might have been.
