During a class trip to a museum, Amy Sherald saw a painting by Bo Bartlett that made her realize: “I had never seen a Black person in a painting before.” That realization changed her life. “It turned on the light,” she says, “I thought, ‘I want to do this, too.’” She then devoted her life to art, spending more than a decade painting by day and waiting tables at night. #amysherald #bobartlett #blackamericans #painting
