In addition to installation and performance art, Butler is also known for her jewelry, costumes, drawings, ceramics and prints. A native Clevelander, she holds a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art and has been active in Cleveland’s creative community since the early 1980’s. In 2022 her performance art piece Fragile Eggsistence was part of the Borderlight Fringe Festival.
