Reynolds Fine Art is pleased to present Allegories of the Heart and Mind, a solo exhibition by the artist, teacher and profound thinker William Butcher. Butcher works out of Connecticut and has been teaching at Suffield Academy for the past 30 years. Artist Statement“I am in my work, occupied with visions and images that emanate from the heart and mind. It is by a peculiar compulsion that I am driven to bring these to life in a visual form. This is a force of memory that I understand but little and is dependent on a craft collectively rooted in a mysterious tradition whose secret and sacred tenets I am constantly reaffirming…It is only in allegory that I can hope to garner a meager understanding of the hidden forces that drive my compulsion to create.” !
