"Sunkist", Oil, 68"x 78", 2000

Jim Butler paintings and sculptures distill perception.
 
He received a BFA from The Rhode Island School Of Design and an MFA from Indiana University. Painting is primary, but consideration of the medium is malleable. Blown and fused glass, the material flip-side of painting, is a favorite material. So is narrative. His images crystallize seen moments and emotional sensation.
 
He lives and works between Shoreham, VT and Brooklyn, NY.
