REFLECT
REBOUND
RESHAPE
Executed in a glass-like material that only appears fragile, our artwork uses color and refracted light to reshape the surrounding space—able to bend and rebound without breaking.
The Butterfly Art Collective produces sculptures centered on the butterfly as a recurring form.
Whether singular or aggregated, the sculptures establish a lasting presence in private and institutional collections, inviting reflection and uplift.
The butterfly endures as our form because it represents agency without aggression. Its wings appear glasslike—almost fragile—yet they are engineered for persistence: flexible under force, responsive to light, and strong enough to carry a body across distance. We’re drawn to that contradiction.
In a culture that mistakes hardness for strength, the butterfly reminds us that resilience can be elastic, quiet, and luminous—something that bends, adapts, and returns without losing its shape.
The wings of our work are largely transparent by design. Rather than presenting a fixed image, they admit light, allowing color, shadow, and movement to participate in the piece. As conditions change, so does the work. Meaning is not imposed but revealed through interaction.
Each butterfly resolves light differently, without hierarchy or repetition—embodying a form of confidence that does not rely on opacity, and a strength that does not require dominance.
Resilience
Our inaugural campaign centers on 25 pairs of sculptural butterflies made in soft resin with wingspans up to five feet. Each pair honors a community forever changed by one of the 25 deadliest mass shootings in the United States.
From each pair, one butterfly is permanently installed in the affected community. Its counterpart enters circulation through exhibitions and art collections, with 100% of proceeds from its initial sale supporting organizations working to prevent gun violence at various levels.
Collect With Purpose
Each artwork purchased from the Resilience campaign directly supports our partner organizations. By collecting these pieces, supporters pool their contributions into a shared effort, amplifying impact while taking home a tangible object that carries both beauty and purpose—a reminder of having made a meaningful contribution.
Created as an invitation to slow down, look closely, and make something by hand, the Resilience Watercolor Kit transforms six original, artist-designed compositions into a tactile painting experience. Inspired by the butterflies of our Resilience campaign and the custom forms created in our studio, each design offers a new way to engage with the shapes, details, and symbolism of our work.
Inside are 12 blind-embossed watercolor pages, with each design included twice – one to keep and one to share. The artwork emerges subtly from the paper through texture, light, and shadow, leaving room for your own interpretation as you paint.
A curated palette of metallic mica watercolors shifts and reflects as it catches the light, bringing another dimension to each embossed composition. There are no rules and no prescribed outcome – only an invitation to follow your curiosity and see where it leads.
Each kit includes:
(12) 8x10” blind-embossed 300gsm watercolor pages featuring 6 original designs (2 of each design)
Metallic mica watercolor palette featuring 9 unique colors

Each butterfly in the Resilience campaign represents a story of transformation, remembrance, and hope. The Thousand Oaks, CA shooting occurred on November 7, 2018, at the Borderline Bar & Grill during a college night event, where a gunman opened fire on young patrons, many of them students. Just one day later, the Woolsey Fire swept through the region, burning nearly 100,000 acres and compounding the community’s grief with another devastating blow.
This photographic print features the Thousand Oaks butterfly. Inspired by the city’s namesake oak trees — known for their deep roots, strength, and longevity — the butterfly reflects resilience, endurance, and community in the face of atrocity. Each piece serves as a quiet tribute to lives lost and a reminder of what we continue to hope for. Captured in fine detail, this photographic print presents the butterfly artwork itself — a visual record of a piece created to honor lives lost and carry forward its message of remembrance and hope.
100% of proceeds support our nonprofit partners driving healing and systemic change.
