#8187_Courtney Bryan

This one-of-a-kind unframed original pencil, ink and watermedia painting was created by New Orleans artist Emilie Rhys on December 3, 2017, during a live music performance at the St. Katharine Drexel Chapel, Xavier University. Pianist/composer Courtney Bryan was presenting a solo concert of original music.

This painting is one of several Rhys artworks illustrating Ms. Bryan's interview in the book "New Orleans Music Observed: The Art of Noel Rockmore and Emilie Rhys," published in 2021.

While most of the artist's live-music drawings are completed on the spot in the venue, some receive additional work, and in this case the paint was added at the artist's French Quarter art studio.

Ms. Bryan will receive a cash commission from the sale of this artwork in which she is depicted.
