Emma Amos (American, 1937-2020), The Gift 1990-94 https://www.clevelandart.org/art/2023.126
Emma Amos (16 Mar 1937 – 20 May 2020) was a postmodern African-American painter and printmaker. She moved to New York City after feeling stunted by the slow move of the Atlanta art scene.
Amos was not expecting the level of racism, sexism, and ageism that she encountered upon moving to New York. Galleries would not accept her under the premise that she was too young to show, and studio teaching jobs rejected her on the grounds that, "We're not hiring right now".
The difficulty of entering work into galleries led her to teach as an assistant at the Dalton School where she met artists and was introduced to the New York and East Hampton art scene, where she experienced difficulty showing her work in a "man's scene." It was also around this time that Emma Amos began her career as a textile designer, working for the weaver and colorist Dorothy Liebes, where her designs were translated into unique carpets.

“I’m wearing layered tulle skirts from Other People’s Clothes, an off the shoulder loose tee, and some vintage jewelry and shoes that were a gift from my mom. I try to maintain a wardrobe that is mostly secondhand, it’s like a treasure hunt and it makes the items you get ahold of so much more special. I think it also pushes you to curate a style that feels unique to you. I love layering, and I love loose and flowy attire – I’m very inspired by fantasy and I try to put together outfits that have a whimsical feel to them. It makes me feel like I’m bringing a bit of magic into my day!”
