June Leaf is a painter from Chicago. Her expressive narrative paintings have always been of interest to me. She was part of the group that included Seymour Rosofsky, Irving Petlin, Ellen Laynon and others that used curious associations of figures, landscape and interiors to convey erie and strange connections to the human experience.

    1. She was a major influence on me and my contemporaries in the 70's. Still resonates today.
