Virginia Butler  Bio

Virginia Butler

Art is my therapy and oils are my medium of choice. I have a real love and passion for the artistic process, and experience a visceral excitement when bringing to life on canvas an animal, nature scene, or personal experience. As a self-taught artist I’ve spent many years honing my craft, and have been involved artistically the majority of my life in one form or another.

My body of work ranges from realistic landscapes and still life subjects to animals of all kind.  I have found many of my subjects at Tampa’s Lowry Park Zoo where I volunteer on a regular basis. I believe strongly in sharing my talent with others, and over the years, have donated many hours to creating murals for nonprofit organizations and local schools.
