About The Artist
Gwen Mehler is a favorite of gallery patrons, who love her highly impactful use of pattern and color. She applies those elements to work that is influenced by the nature she encounters in the every day. Her aim is to explore the relationship of nature to the common objects one would find, encouraging a whimsical and sometimes humorous reaction.
Gwen’s latest paintings represent a collaboration with fellow Butterfield member Lynda Ryan, a jeweler at the gallery. In creating this new series, Gwen shares:
"I have admired Lynda’s work since she joined the Butterfield Garage in 2024 and felt drawn to the intricate beauty of her creations. I am grateful she agreed to our partnership and trust the results enhance the beauty of the subject and honor our shared attention to detail."

About Butterfield Garage Art Gallery
Established in February 1999, Butterfield Garage Art Gallery is the brainchild of artist Jan Miller. Her vision was to create an artist-run gallery for professional artists that would encourage creative experimentation. Miller brought with her the experience of over 40 years as a successful professional artist. Having been a former member of ARC Cooperative in Chicago, Jan wanted to create a similar collective here in her new home. Her plan was to bring together the best artists in the area, who would share expenses, management, and operation of the gallery. The gallery opened its doors in February 1999.
For 25 years now, the Butterfield Garage Art Gallery has provided its artists with the chance to grow and take advantage of opportunities that may come their way through exposure in a professional gallery. And we continue to this day, true to the gallery’s original mission: to be a leader in the presentation of traditional and contemporary visual arts in Northeast Florida, and to encourage the experience of direct accessibility and dialogue between artists and their customers.
