Bisa Butler was born in New Jersey, the daughter of a college president and a French teacher. Butler’s artistic talent was first seen at the age of four, when she won a blue ribbon in an art competition. Bisa Butler was a high school art teacher for 13 years. She created a portrait of Nobel Peace Prize recipient Wangari Maathai (Kenyan activist and the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize). This portrait became the cover for the 2020 Time Magazine issue honoring the 100 Women of the Year.
