Lori Butler is a multifaceted artist with talents in various mediums including photography, painting, and sculpture. Butler's body of work traces a remarkable and intimate journey of a very unique, yet relatable path of self-discovery, healing, and understanding. The concepts expressed through her art cover a rich and full spectrum of human emotions with much inspiration drawn from her own transformational experiences with addiction. The truths found on her road to recovery have given rise to a higher awareness as well as the ability to see and capture enchantment in everyday happenings both great and small. Whether it is through her painting, sculpting, or photography, it is Butler's personal transformation that reverberates through her art and she is open for all to see.
Lori Butler currently resides in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee, which has been a great source of inspiration as well as a catalyst. She continually and instinctively has been able to capture the underlying beauty in Memphis, one often overlooked. More recently, it is the world beyond Memphis that has provided the "canvas" for Butler's powerful body of work. Argentina, Panama, Uruguay and several other countries in South America, as well as the islands of Denmark are captured through her photography with imagery teeming with color, mystery, and most importantly, messages that aim to reach everyone and remind us of the human experience that connects us all.
