Harry Lee Brorby was a dedicated painter and printmaker. He grew up in Chicago and was educated at Harvard University, Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art, and University of Iowa. In 1970, drawn by the southwestern light, he moved his family to Tucson, Arizona where he loved the minimal horizons of the desert landscape. Brorby’s work is included in collections at the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago. He and his wife Nancy – whose work is also in the hospital - inspired each other with their art making for over 60 years.
