Fabric Art by Bisa Butler
Header image: Southside Sunday Morning, Photo by Margaret Fox.
I came across this artist by chance on Instagram and I am already dreaming about living in a big enough house to buy one of her pieces and display it in all of its beautiful colourful, storytelling glory! The artist is Bisa Butler.
Bisa Butler was born in Orange, NJ and raised in South Orange, the youngest of four siblings. A formally trained artist, Butler graduated from Howard University, with a Bachelor’s in Fine Art degree. She also graduated from Montclair State University in 2004 with a master’s degree in Art Education. Her medium of choice is quilts using silk, cotton, wax prints, lace netting, mud cloth and more, and they are stunning. Detailed, colourful, intricate… I could go on but I won’t. Just feast your eyes instead and check out more of her work. Also follow her Instagram account www.instagram.com/bisabutler. The storytelling and celebration of African-American heroes and historical figures is inspiring.
My absolute favourites….
For a chance to see her work in person, do check out Bisa Butler current exhibitions.
