bio

Butler was born in London in 1996, where, as the daughter of a painter, she grew up surrounded by art and creativity. She graduated from the Univerisity of the Arts London with first-class honours in 2018 and with an MA from SOAS in 2022.

She lives and works in North East London, and continues to exhibit around the UK, including notable shows such as "Everything is connected in life: art and wellbeing" at the Gerald Moore Gallery and “For its own joy”, a group show created and curated by artists. She works primarily in oil, painting across a range of scales on canvas and found materials.

artist’s statement

Butler's artistic journey is a celebration of the intricate marvels found in the natural world. Drawing inspiration from the mesmerising patterns found in the cells of endangered plants and fungi, and evolving landscapes shaped by climate change, her work serves as a poignant reminder of our interconnectedness with nature. Through an interplay of shape and texture, Butler's paintings, crafted with various mediums, invite viewers to delve into the depths of the earth's beauty.
