Leland Brewsaugh was the epitome of a self-made man and the grandeur of his legacy is the evidence. I stand in awe of his many accomplishments. He was my mentor and my strongest inspiration as an artist.

My love and prayers go out to the Brewsaugh Family.

I want the Brewsaugh family to know that I continue to enjoy Leland's artwork---including the beautiful carved eagle---every day. He brought a lot of joy to my husband Al and me. Also I still enjoy Liz's ceramics.We will miss him!
