Legends. Moments. Stories in Pencil.
Artwork Created for Sporting Legends
Commemorative Event Artwork
Custom Sports Commissions
Victoria Butler creates detailed, hand-drawn sports portraits that celebrate more than an athlete’s likeness—they tell the story of a career. Each original pencil portait highlights defining moments in the life and career of the subject.
Commissioned event artwork honouring Alessandro Del Piero, Julius Erving, Jack Nicklaus and Jack Morris have been presented to the featured athletes, signed, and reproduced in support of charitable organizations.
Victoria's sports art portfolio spans baseball, basketball, football, hockey, golf and international soccer, with each piece created as an original tribute to the passion, character and legacy of its subject. Victoria layers colour pencil with graphite to create a unique look to each piece, skillfully designed and executed.
Bladeworx is a distinctive medium, otherwise known as scratch art, in which an image is carefully revealed by scratching through a dark surface with a blade. Instead of adding dark lines to white paper, Victoria works in reverse, removing the black surface one small mark at a time to uncover the light beneath it. Victoria creates exceptionally detailed, hand-scratched portraits of personalities — human and animal —
with a special reputation in sports art.
