Painting is not Lori Leachman’s only talent. Lori tells the story of a life in football from a daughter’s perspective in: The King of Halloween and Miss Firecracker Queen. It provides an intimate look at one family’s rise through the ranks of competitive football—from player to high school, then college coaching; followed by coaching in the WFL, CFL, and NFL, and ultimately to Super Bowl champions. It also chronicles the family’s struggle to deal with and understand the decline of the father who was at the center of this lifestyle from CTE.\
Lori Leachman is also the artist of “The Magnificent Ladies of the Pando” on show now at the Kenan House Gallery. Considered one of the forty wonders of the world, The Pando is a 106 acre forest of genetically identical, male Aspen trees that reproduce asexually through the root system. As a result of climate change and other disruptions, the trees are experiencing a failure to thrive. Since the forest lacks genetic diversity, it relies on diversity across ages to ensure a flourishing, healthy forest. The Magnificent Ladies of the Pando are artist Lori Leachman’s tribute to The Pando Forest. They are the complement to the male reality. They are the ladies that will save the day and help repair the forest!
