Bithiah Holton (she/they) is a queer, Black, and Mexican American multidisciplinary artist and educator. Born and raised in St. Paul, MN, with roots in El Paso, TX, Bithiah has now called the greater Boston area their home for the past 9 years.

Their practice is rooted in visual storytelling that affirms identity, nurtures resilience, and reimagines liberation for QTBIPOC, especially queer black joy. Through portraiture and organic forms, they explore how grief, joy, and vulnerability coexist in daily life. Recurring motifs hint at growth and the presence of lived experience, while many portraits center Black women, often self-portraits, as acts of preservation and visibility. Preservation runs through their work, honoring cultural and familial histories, sustaining community voices, and practicing self-preservation as a Black genderqueer woman navigating erasure and harm.

Bithiah graduated from the College of Fine Arts at Boston University with a BFA in Art Education and has a passion for fostering vibrant and inclusive creative settings. They currently work with the BU Office for the Arts, developing engaging programming that empowers local artists, BU students, and community members through exhibitions and free and accessible arts programming.
