Who Was Mildred Anne Butler?

Mildred Anne Butler was one of Ireland’s most accomplished watercolour artists and a leading figure in the British and Irish art scene of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Thomastown, County Kilkenny, she trained at the Westminster School of Art in London, where she was influenced by the Impressionist movement and the naturalistic approach of the Newlyn School.

Butler became a member of the Royal Watercolour Society (R.W.S.) and was highly regarded for her exceptional ability to capture the charm and character of animals, birds, and rural life. Her love of nature is evident in her work, which often features scenes from the idyllic surroundings of her family home, Kilmurry House. Today, her paintings are held in prestigious collections, including the National Gallery of Ireland.
