CLYDE BUTCHER
Traveling Exhibitions


Summary

Niki Butcher is an artist whose mediums include oil paint and photographic film, but she is much more than the supplies she uses. She is a mother, loyal partner and wife of Clyde, historian, documentarian, conservationist, and passionate protector of the environment. She is an engaged community activist with an overarchingly positive outlook on life. A creative spirit who loves all things Bohemian and quirky, Niki revels in the enjoyment of revealing a hidden story through her artwork. She sees the world in vivid colors and expresses herself through art and dialogue with those she meets.
Featuring over 60 images created over five decades, DAYDREAMING, Niki Butcher’s Hand-Painted Photography, invites you to see the historical, beautiful, and sometimes quirky aspects of our world through the eyes of a thoughtful optimist. Through her black and white photography, Niki captures places and people that stand out as beautiful, unique, endangered, and authentic. What sets her work apart is her use of color as she breathes life and imagination into these photographed scenes, creating a picture of life far beyond what a camera could capture. DAYDREAMING lets viewers experience a world that adds a bit more color, a good dose of humor, and an infusion of positivity.
