Amy Webb is a painter based in Omaha, Nebraska. Originally from the American South, her work examines the emotional complexities of rural life, engaging themes of spiritual fear, memory, nostalgia, and environmental unease. Influenced by American Realism and Southern storytelling traditions, she creates dark, atmospheric landscapes that convey the psychological weight of place. Webb earned her BFA in Painting from the University of Mississippi, where she was awarded the Outstanding Painting Award. She has exhibited nationally, with recent shows in the Southeast as well as in Philadelphia and Chicago.
