Royalty Without Riches: Bisa Butler's Portrait Quilts at the Richard Beavers Gallery

I've been having a lot of "love at first sight" moments with art lately. Such is the case when you're actively looking for beauty; you seem to find it everywhere.

Butler uses everyday materials denim, cotton, silk, vintage flour sacks, etc. to create intricate portraits of the people who surround her such as her father, a friend's daughter, or her grandmother, along with famous women who inspire her such as Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone, and Zora Neale Hurston.
