Yvonne Butler specializes in fine art and travel photography. Her fine art work covers abstractions, close-up/macro photography, seascapes and landscapes, and architectural design. Of late, Butler is developing a body of work that explores new ways to present color and action. See her new series of Japanese Koi and related Abstractions in the site galleries, as well as black-and-white infrared photography. She also works on photo essays and photo illustrations of special subjects that are near and dear to her, such as Quinceanera and the study of jazz musician greats around the world.
Butler and her Metacom Systems LLC company have just launched WORKSHOPWIZARD.COM (www.workshopwizard.com), a global one-stop events information website for the Arts, Photography, Film, Media, Graphics and Technology sectors. Visitors can conduct research, investigate and plan to attend upcoming events, including seminars, webinars, workshops, courses, online and onsite training, tours, treks, conferences, conventions and more. Event hosts can promote their events on a brief listing at no charge and pay a modest fee to create detailed listings with video, photo slideshow, and extended program descriptions. WorkshopWizard is part of the Zourse.com set of websites owned, designed and developed by Butler, an information technology expert, with the assistance of her webmaster, Steve Belanger.
