Bradley Butler was born on a cold December morning in 1983 in Upstate New York. He grew up in a small town 30 minutes east of Rochester and most likely, always knew he was an artist. He has been making and exhibiting his work since 2006 and has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in Rochester, Buffalo, and New York, NY; Georgetown, KY; and Santa Fe, NM. Butler received an M.F.A. from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2010 and his work has been featured in Studio Visit Magazine, vol. 9 (Open Studios Press).

Butler also makes and sells handmade books and cards with his wife Sarah, a graphic designer, through The Butler Studios.
