Noel Butler
My name is Noel Butler and I am an emerging artist in North Carolina. I am a self-taught artist, and I enjoy expressing myself in medium and technique to create mood and texture that elicits emotion. Many of my paintings are done using Arcylic though, because patience is a work in progress. Growing up on a farm in Ohio, I was surrounded by nature and living things, which continues to inspire many of my art pieces today. After moving to North Carolina, I continue to find inspiration in the beautiful landscapes and diverse life this state has to offer. I feel my goal as an artist is to encourage my viewer to slow down. We live in a busy self-absorbed world, and as a population, we are not encouraged to stop and look at how the sunlight plays on the petals of a flower or the facets of color that exist in the human eye. If one person, after seeing my work, is encouraged to stop for just a moment to notice the small things, I think overall I will have succeeded as an artist, and inspired another with the beauty that surrounds us all.
