Storytime with Author and Illustrator David Michael Butler

Michael’s picture book (ages 3+) is a story that captures a conversation about love and loss between father and son. A young boy asks, “What happens If I lose you?” and the father responds the most honest way hey can saying, “Remember Where Love Lives!”

St. Louis native and Ohio-based Artist David Butler has situated himself within the figurative painting tradition. He attained his BFA at the Columbus College of Art and Design, and is inspired by the figurative works of traditional painters. Butler’s work engages the visual essence of pop/urban culture, placing figures in environments and narratives to provoke dialogue on identity, and his life experiences.
