Art File Feature: Bradley Butler 🎨🌌🌊
Bradley Butler’s paintings explore the parallels between deep thought, deep water, and deep space. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the mysteries of existence, his work offers a subconscious exploration of belief, darkness, and the questions that continue to shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. 🌀✨
A painter since 2005, Butler grew up in a small town in Upstate New York and is also a songwriter and musician. His multidisciplinary sensibility informs a practice rooted in curiosity, introspection, and the unknown. 🎶🎨

Works by Ellen Starr Lyon - "Protection", "Manifesting", "Potential". Currently on view - Ellen Starr Lyon: “Nesting Rituals” in the Project Room, and Kathleen Beausoleil: “Meet at the Ferris Wheel” in the Main Gallery. Exhibitions are on view from September 29–October 24, 2026. All works are available for sale on Artsy [] .

From the Press Release — “Nesting Rituals” is a solo exhibition of oil paintings by artist Ellen Starr Lyon. What began as an obvious metaphor of nests and eggs became an investigation of more universal themes of vulnerability, fragility, and the inherent strength in embracing both. The eggs began to symbolize the ideas we hold onto—potential that may never come to fruition. Lyon explores what it means to identify as a mother and how to welcome new identities.

From the Press Release — “Meet at the Ferris Wheel” is a solo exhibition of new oil paintings by Kathleen Beausoleil centered on the American town fair. The exhibition of 20 oil paintings explores how crowds form, how people connect through repeated encounters, and how shared rituals create a sense of belonging. Beausoleil paints the subtle choreography of the crowd: the spaces between figures, recurring gestures, patterns of movement, and invisible relationships that reveal how people organize themselves in public.
