Bisa Butler
American, b. 1973

Bisa Butler is known for vivid, quilted portraits of Black Americans that rework historical photographs into monumental textile compositions. Working with patterned fabrics including West African wax prints, kente cloth, and Dutch wax prints, she builds jewel-toned figures whose clothing and pose carry narrative weight. Trained as a painter at Howard University, she shifted toward fiber while pursuing graduate study at Montclair State University. Her portraits have been exhibited widely in the United States and are held by major museum collections.
