Created by Butch Anthony

Butch Anthony is a visionary self-taught artist, maker, and collector of found objects, weaving together art, history, and storytelling in a style that is entirely his own. Born in 1963 in Pensacola, Florida, he grew up on his family’s 80-acre property in Seale, Alabama, where he continues to live and create in a home he built by hand. Anthony is the mastermind behind the Museum of Wonder: The World’s First Drive-Thru Museum, a one-of-a-kind, 24/7 art experience that allows anyone, at any time, to take in a world of creativity without traditional barriers.

In the early 1990s, Anthony began experimenting with various media and techniques, developing his signature style, which he calls Intertwanglelism, (inter = to mix; twang = a distinctive way of speaking, thinking, behaving, assessing; and ism = a theory). His studies in zoology, geology, and botany at Auburn University in the early 1980s, along with a course in comparative anatomy, later influenced his fascination with skeletal forms and organic structures, which feature prominently in his work.

Anthony’s art has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally, including at the Akron Museum of Art (Ohio), Wiregrass Museum of Art (Alabama), Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art (South Carolina), Telfair Museum (Georgia), Indiana University (Indianapolis), and the Black Rat Project (London, England). His work has been featured on CNN, NPR, and American Pickers, and covered in The New York Times, Garden & Gun, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest, The Wall Street Journal, and Hyperallergic. He was also featured in Alabama Creates: 200 Years of Art and Artists, a publication celebrating the state’s most influential artists.
