| Alistair
Butt Alistair Butt attended the local art group which his father, Adrian organised. Alistair was born in Umtata, Transkie, South Africa (now Mthatha, KwaZulu, Natal). He moved to Derbyshire at the age of 13. Alistair attended Art College for four years and went on to study Technical and Scientific Illustration for a further three years. He spent time in the Advertising Industry as a graphic designer and illustrator. Alistair works in watercolour and oil. He has held a series of successful one-man exhibitions and at the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Light in all its forms and its effect upon the subject provides sparkle, impact and mood to landscapes and seascapes. Sunlight through trees, long shadows from a winter sun on snow covered ground, or a grey misty morning, these, are the things that inspire the artist. |  | |
