“This is what you shall do; Love the earth and sun and the animals…” Walt Whitman
Lori Anne Butler, Visual Artist
I grew up in South Florida and now live in Central Florida, and am so happy to be here! I am an artist wishing to bring the beauty of nature and animals to light. I work as a multi-disciplinary visual artist and illustrator, whose media include acrylics, watercolor, oil, gouache, and encaustic. Having grown up surrounded by the astounding beauty of tropical landscapes, my paintings and stories illuminate the importance of nature. I hope to encourage others, especially children, to respect and value the natural world, and the creatures with which we share the planet.
