Amy Bryan (born in 1976) explores portraiture as a means of preserving memory, identity, and/or cultural history. She is interested in the expressive potential of portraiture and the ways a portrait can honor both an individual life and a broader historical legacy. Some of her portraits are of imagined people, some are from observing real people, and some portraits are of historical figures that she admires. This is a portrait of Ida B. Wells, an African American civil rights activist, born in 1862 into slavery in Holly Springs, Mississippi. She is famous for leading a crusade against lynching through investigative journalism. Bryan received an MFA in Printmaking from Howard University and a BA in Studio Art from Xavier University of Louisiana. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, including the International Printmaking Biennial of Douro, Portugal, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the Contemporary Arts Center New Orleans, and numerous solo and group exhibitions. Today, she continues her studio practice in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
