Amy Pleasant (b. 1972, Birmingham, Alabama) received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (1994) and an MFA from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University (1999). Merging her interests in the shared qualities of writing and drawing, she developed a visual language, similar to an alphabet. These figurative shapes transition to large scale paintings, wall drawings and sculpture, moving between the intimate and the monumental.
