Lizzie Butler says she has always loved landscapes and the openness of “big skies, the likes of which you find in Lincolnshire, where I spent all my childhood summers.” Grounded in figurative landscape oil painting and life drawing, Butler's important work is today expressive and semi-abstract. But she hasn't given up what to her are essential formalities of her early training at London Fine Art Studios: she begins her landscape pieces ‘en plein air’ with a sketch, a photograph or a painting. After capturing nature’s sound and silence on site, she often finishes her pieces in her London studio, where she paints primarily in oil. Her work is an uncommon mix of boldness and precision, and the result is simply immersive. Butler credits artful parents with her zest for painting: her father, “an architect who etched at every opportunity” and her mother, a fashion designer and colorist. It is easy to see the influence. Butler’s depth of field and her linear hand convey light, silence, and energy with just the right hues and tones. Lizzie Butler has exhibited abroad and at Leighton House Museum, Kensington, London, along with several London galleries. This is her first exhibition in the United States. Butler is avidly collected in the US, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Europe.
