Bolden is a visual artist and screen printer based in Maryland. She has a B.A. in Studio Arts from the University of Maryland, College Park. Her work is characterized by vivid colors and semi-nonrepresentational composition, forming a microcosm that represents the intangible and reveals the nuances of the tangible. Memory, nature, and the intersection between internal and external realities are central themes in her practice.

The act of repetition within screenprinting opens the door to new interpretations, leading Bolden to acquire a new language. A language that uses color and shapes to speak to people, to fill in the gaps that words cannot. Of late, Bolden and her co-collaborator, Ennis R. Hodgson, displayed abstract pieces in 2025 at Collaborate / kəˈlabəˌrāt, a group show at Gallery Y in Washington, D.C.
