Profile

Name: Larry Butterworth
City: San Diego
Country: United States

Joined: Mar 2008

I grew up in Kansas and Nebraska and earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the University of Kansas in 1975. After that I moved to San Francisco to pursue a life as an artist. As any artist, I developed a style and a method of mentally and physically approaching my work. Painting and drawing have always been my favorite physical media since I discovered them as a child; then I discovered the computer, now running a close second. Mentally I chase after images with a butterfly net, always careful to preserve what I’ve captured – not wanting to pin it down – I never commit to anything right away. I store it in a jar and wait till the time is just right, then I free it, usually with another image that was imprisoned also. Once these liberated images come together, they have a will of their own. Then another free flight and they begin to tell their own story. My work has always felt like visual story telling, stories I can’t tell verbally, narratives that speak to each person in a different way. Humor, satire, whimsy foreboding, social comment and spirituality are all themes that come into play.
My work has been exhibited in California and other parts of the country. I now live in San Diego with my wife.
