This Week in Bisbee Person of the Week!
Leonard Greco is an artist , primarily a painter but textile sculptures as well. His studio workshop is in Old Bisbee. “We had been visiting Bisbee off and on while living in LA , not sure how we’d ‘make it work’ living here. In 2024 we finally bought a place in Old Bisbee and made it our full time home last November.” What do you love about Bisbee? “The time capsule quality of Old Bisbee had me smitten from our very first visit . This town clearly understood the charms of the 19th century and I wanted to share in that experience- all while nestled in such spectacular topography.” Tell him you saw him in TWIB!
