The works produced by the late Alma Wallace Lesch are currently archived in two Louisville, Kentucky institutions (The Kentucky Museum of Art and Craft; The University of Louisville) and in many private collections throughout the United States. It is the intent of this author to identify these textile works for reseach purposes in order to more fully appreciate the contributions of the artist, author and innovator through her unique signature form of fabric portraiture, and the producer of natural color in fiber (published VEGETABLE DYEING) as well as an authority on fiber throughout her eighty-two year lifespan in Kentucky, USA in North America.
