Bithiah Holton

Bithiah Holton is a multidisciplinary artist and educator interested in the convergence of art, education, and identity. As the Administrative Coordinator for the BU Arts Initiative, Bithiah oversees the BUAI office gallery installations, prepares marketing materials, provides administrative support for events and meetings, and research support for development activities. They return to BU after diverse experiences at the Boston Chinatown Neighborhood Center’s Pao Arts Center and Red Oak Program, and the Boston Public Schools in Roxbury as a visual arts teacher for K1-6^th grade.

As an artist, Bithiah often works in comics, illustration, printmaking, and ceramics. Their work explores the reimagination of liberation, especially through the embodiment of emotion, vulnerability, and the lenses of wellness. Their creative process is largely influenced by their identity, interest in emotional growth from trauma, and the interplay between color and emotions. Bithiah has exhibited work at the Massachusetts Independent Comics Expo, the Boston Art Book Fair, and the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival.

During their free time, Bithiah is a plant parent and enjoys traveling and cooking.
