Three years ago, Linda Butler left a 25-year career as a black-and-white photographer to create videos that advocate for living more gently on our planet. Butler's photographs have been featured in exhibitions around the world in Italy, Japan, and Canada as well as at the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. She has published books on the Shakers, rural Japan, Italy, and China. In 1999 she won the Cleveland Arts Prize. Her photographs and book on the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges Dam were featured in an exhibition at Cleveland Museum of Natural History that traveled to UCLA and Cornell. In her short films, Linda seeks to make the science of global warming comprehensible and to feature people who are transforming their lives to live more sustainably.
