Bisa Butler on Creating New Narratives Through "Portrait Quilts"

From CBS This Morning: "Artist Bisa Butler has been called a modern-day Griot – but instead of using words to tell stories, she uses stitches and cloth. Her quilts have graced the covers of magazines and she created the striking illustration for the soon-to-be-released book "Unbound," the memoir of activist and Me Too movement founder Tarana Burke. Nancy Chen reports."

Only a truly beautiful soul could produce these amazing pieces of art. The colors and the people just reach out to touch you. Please have this woman on The Quilt Show so that more people will know her amazing talent and vision.

I had the privilege of going to the Chicago Art Institute to see her fabulous work of art. I had to buy her book to keep some of her art quilts and be able to see them again and again. I’m at a loss for words to describe them….beautiful,...

I saw this segment when it aired on CBS this Morning Saturday, and I hoped Bisa Butler would also be seen on The Quilt Show. Kudos to The Quilt Show. Bisa's quilts are so masterfully created. I love her use of color and shading!
