Katie Butler / Push & Pull

Katie Butler is a visual artist living and working out of her home in Toronto, Canada. Katie works mainly with acrylics to create colourful and moody figurative paintings. Her love for painting was reignited in 2019, when she began offering commission portraits surrounding themes of body positivity. Since then, her work has pivoted towards the portrayal of candid moments.

Katie uses her art as a means for storytelling — depicting scenes where the subject becomes the character of a larger narrative, often through the expressive nature of the human form.
