Carl Butler

The body of work in this exhibit is the culmination of days and nights spent on the journey. The geography of the land, the corners of the mind, and the vagaries of the human heart are my source material. Just follow the signs and you’ll get to where you’re going.

“Painting is like making love to a Frenchman, too much technique and you make a bore of it.”
