Russo Lee Gallery is pleased to present a preview of works by Lucinda Parker created for her, now postponed, September exhibition. This new body of work celebrates her late husband, Stephen McCarthy. She states that, "he was my main man and most loyal supporter year in and year out for 53 years".
The gallery will continue to provide updates about rescheduling this exhibition in-person. For now, please take a look at the preview online and reach out to us with any inquiries. Thank you.
