Statement from the artist, Brenda Butka:  My obsession with painting tools is closely related to my interest in painting the human figure--tools are designed for human use, so, in a way, are reflections of the human body.  And, of course, the glamorous green handles on these clippers just demanded to have their portrait painted!


 


Brenda has retired from a long career in pulmonary medicine. She resides in the Middle Tennessee Bells Bend community with her husband, and is a longtime supporter of sustainable farming, land preservation, community health and the local food economy.
