William Butler is an established, nationally known artist. He creates beautiful, inspirational commissioned, studio, live, and digital artwork, and his paintings have been purchased from coast to coast. William’s artwork is luminous and layered embedded with themes of inspiration and hope. He brings more than 30 years of experience as an artist and a graphic designer to each painting.

William is honored to have his art installed and exhibited in numerous private collections as well as many corporate, non-profit, health, governmental, and academic institutions. William created two paintings for Former President Barack Obama (one which the President signed), and he also created paintings for the National Governors Association, Jon Bon Jovi, and Akbar Gbajabiamila of American Ninja Warrior as well as other dignitaries and celebrities.

William’s paintings raise money and awareness for incredible charities by the auctioning of William’s finished artwork at commissioned/live art events.
