Selma Burke in her studio
Selma Hortense Burke is one of the few African-American
women sculptors who achieved a high level of national recognition
during her lifetime. She received national recognition for her relief
portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt which was the model for his
image on the dime. She was committed to teaching art to others,
so she established the Selma Burke Art School in New York City
and opened the Selma Burke Art Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
