Ted "Teo"

Hello my name is Teodoro "Ted" Juan Butler and I look forward to painting alongside you. Together we'll create masterpieces while learning. I am a self taught artist and have over the years worked with many mediums. I aim to be proficient at what I do. I enjoy traveling on long road trips to take in the natural scenery around me and also partake in camping, hiking, rock climbing and kayaking. I live and love the outdoors. It's what gives me perspective and inspiration when it comes to art. Let's have some fun and paint!
