Niki Butcher Hand Painted Photography

Niki Butcher has been photographing throughout the United States and other tropical locations with her husband, legendary black-and-white photographer Clyde Butcher, for over five decades, capturing the beauty and uniqueness of places and people. Niki finds the beauty not only in nature but also in the historical buildings and interesting people that inhabit the landscapes. Inspired by the hand-painted postcards of the 1930s, Niki first started painting her black and white photographs in the 1980s. Using her own photographs, oil paints, Q-tips, and cotton balls, she turned landscapes into dreamscapes and reality into fantasy. Today, Niki uses a similar technique to paint digitally. She first photographs with a digital camera and then paints her images using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.

    This river is the pride of the community of Jupite This river is the pride of the community of Jupiter on the east coast of Florida. It is a wild and scenic river that runs through town, but when you are canoeing on it you’d never know you were a step away from a busy community.

    You may wonder why so many people visit Yellowston You may wonder why so many people visit Yellowstone National Park. The land is so unstable; it’s a little nerve-racking. But I enjoy photographing the diverse geological land formations that are features of the park. The area around Orange Spring Mound is fascinating; however, the intensity of the value scale makes it very difficult for black and white photography.

    "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but "Yesterday's the past, tomorrow's the future, but today is a gift. That's why it's called the present" -Bil Keane

    Now that we have added a second location for my ga Now that we have added a second location for my gallery and studio in Venice, I am finding the opportunity to explore the Myakka State Park. 

For a good portion of the summer, Myakka was submerged under an abundance of water, making it a wet wonderland of tropical splendor. However, the abundance of water forced the park to close its gates. 

Fortunately, Ranger Paula was kind enough to drive me around in the park jeep to many unique locations. Everywhere I looked I found great scenes to photograph…Myakka is truly a beautiful place.

    I was working with Elam Stoltzfus on a documentary I was working with Elam Stoltzfus on a documentary about the Aquatic Preserves in Florida when we came across the St. Sebastian River – a tributary that runs into the Indian River Lagoon on the east coast of Florida. 

As we entered the St. Sebastian River we found a quiet intimate sanctuary that felt good after the broad openness of the Indian River Lagoon. We quietly canoed up the river until I saw this beautiful oak hanging over the river. 

When I climbed out of the boat, I discovered the bank had a very steep drop-off. I had to crowd up into the bushes in order to not slip into the depths of the river, camera and all!

    Niki and I headed to the Washington coast and Olym Niki and I headed to the Washington coast and Olympic National Park on a mission to photograph coastal images. Our goal was to photograph big waves in the Pacific Ocean, but instead, we decided to check out the Hoh Rainforest. 

The high humidity mixed with the cool temperatures made it quite comfortable, and we stayed for the next several days. We were so fascinated by the rainforest that we only spent one day photographing the Pacific Ocean. The smells and lush green reminded me of Florida swamps.
