Behind every great group of artists, you'll find someone who cracks the whip. At the quirky South Austin Museum of Popular Culture (much as she did at the Armadillo World Headquarters), it's Leea Mechling who prods the museum board, balances the books, oversees the mailings, coordinates the schedule, helps curate the exhibits, writes the program notes, does all the detail work including catering for the receptions, and still makes sure there's toilet paper in the bathroom. Not exactly a glam job, but she fits it all in around her day job, which has included raising a family with artist Henry Gonzales.
