From their Butler began to work in clay before moving forward into assemblage art. One of her assemblage pieces, entitled “Rolling at Last,” incorporates a shoe covered with colorful paper and attached to wheels.
“I used to work with more standard materials (clay and glass),” Butler said. “But moving forward I have become more interested in representing the spirit through totems and also focus on more abstract print work with the emphasis on color/texture and incorporation of found objects and ‘tras’ printed material.”
Butler has a routine when it comes to completing her artwork. She also works on several pieces at a time in case she gets “stuck” on one.

“I work in silence,” she said. “There are times when the phone doesn’t ring and it seems to make everything come together more easily. Allowing creative juices to flow without interruptions is a blessing.”
The artist agrees that art has an important role in society.
“Sharing ideas is necessary for human growth,” Butler said. “What more vibrant and exciting way to share than through art?”
