# Bisa Butler

> Bisa Butler is an African American fiber artist who is credited with creating a new genre of quilting, using photographs, sketches, and vivid traditional textiles to create vibrant life-size portraits in fabric. She is known for celebrating Black life and identity, portraying both everyday people and notable historical figures. Although quilting has long been considered a craft, Butler's use of interdisciplinary methods to create elaborate quilts that look like paintings is bringing recognition both to her work and to the medium of quilting as a whole, as a fine art form.
