Leila Usher (August 26, 1859 – August 13, 1955[1][2]) was an American sculptor.

Biography

Leila Woodman Usher was born in Onalaska, Wisconsin on August 26, 1859, to parents Isaac Lane Usher and Susannah Coffin Woodman.[2][3][4] She was a pupil of English sculptor H. H. Kitson in Boston, American George Brewster in Cambridge, and Irish-American Augustus Saint-Gaudens in New York, and also studied abroad in Paris and Rome.[2][5][6]

Her best-known work is a 1902 bust of educator Booker T. Washington commissioned by the Tuskegee Institute.[1] She produced bas-relief portraits of many other prominent figures such as social reformer Susan B. Anthony, scholar Francis James Child, minister Elijah Kellogg, and geologist John Wesley Powell.[2][5][7][8]

Usher received the Bronze Medal at the 1895 Atlanta Exposition,[6][9] and her work was also awarded at the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition.[10] Usher's sculptures are held in the collections of institutions such as Bowdoin College, Bryn Mawr College, Hampton University, Johns Hopkins University, and Radcliffe College.[2][5][8][11]

She died at St. Luke's Hospital in New York on August 13, 1955, aged 95.[1][2]
