Tributes paid to beloved artist Gladys Leach

Tributes have been paid to one of Cork’s best loved artists, Gladys Leach, after she passed away over the weekend.

Ms Leach, who was 97 and whose married name was Gladys Hyde, was long celebrated for her drawings of many of Cork City’s finest buildings, with her work having been displayed at the Cork City Library, the Crawford Municipal Art Gallery, and the Cork Arts Society, among others.

Ms Leach was also a regular contributor to the Irish Examiner over the years.
