Lines, curves, and everything in between! These fearless and spirited illustrations by Kaethe Butcher envision the romantic relationship we share with ourselves and our bodies as we circle back to revel in femininity and womanhood.


As this series explores the body and femininity, Kaethe Butcher aims to illustrate women in the nude, proclaiming both vulnerability and honesty. Venturing into luxurious yet divine states, she draws women as if they were modern-age goddesses, fierce and holy.


Taking influence from art nouveau and Egon Schiele, Kaethe Butcher’s illustrations shine its spotlight on the subject of women. Drawn in curvaceous and shapely lines, subtle and eloquent, but at the same time, dashingly flaunts its delicate and misty fragments in style. It accentuates the significance of every line, curve, shape, and form that strengthens each character she portrays in her drawings, sporting comfort, and confidence, leaving the audience with a bold and positive energy.


Her characters are a reflection of love and empowerment that wishes to serve as an inspiration to others. Aspiring them to not hide, to shake the feeling of shame, to let go of worries and fears. It should not be a goal that we are staring at from afar through a window, but instead, I think we can find it just by simply looking in the mirror.

When people look at my artworks I want to give them a reflection of their own emotions, of moments from the past or a wish for the future. I want the viewers to pause for a bit and embrace all these feelings and moments they may have forgotten while living their hectic lives and to find a piece of their own story in one of my lines.
