Peter's art is characterised by the use of various materials, including stone, wood, and metal, which he crafts into intricate sculptures that evoke a deep connection to nature and human experience.
Garden: You can wander around Peter Butterworth Garden and Sculpture Gallery and it makes a lovely setting particularly if you visit when the weather is in your favour. The garden is manicured with his art pieces located at many startegic spots as you walk around.
Indie Vibes: Butterworth’s pieces often explore themes of transformation, balance, and the relationship between humanity and the environment, making his work both visually striking and intellectually engaging.
Beyond his technical prowess, Butterworth's work is known for its meditative quality. Many of his sculptures invite contemplation, encouraging viewers to pause and reflect on their own relationship with the world around them.
At times you can see a spiritual pondering in Peter's artworks as well as some medieval influences.
Gallery: Located in a tranquil setting down from his home, Peter's gallery serves as a personal showcase for his sculptures, allowing visitors to explore his creations in an environment designed to complement and enhance the art.
We definitely enjoyed that Peter's work is most definitely sculpture focussed so he stands out from lots of artists that tend to be painter's. You can also say there is also a certain amount of whimsy shown in Peter's work at times.
The gallery also provides insight into his creative process, as he often works on-site, giving visitors a unique opportunity to see the artist at work. It's definitely worth having a good chat with Peter to ask any questions and check out where he gets his inspiration from.
Keeping it real: The Peter Butterworth Garden and Sculpture Gallery is not a crowded, commercialised attraction, but rather a peaceful retreat where visitors can take their time and enjoy the art at their own pace. The garden feels personal, as though you’ve been invited into the artist’s private world to share in his creative vision.
Sense of humour and whimsy: We quite enjoy how Peter manages to embed himself into a lot of the artworks. While this certainly won't appeal to everyone we think it shows his sense of humour and personality.

In A Nutshell
Peter Butterworth is a highly skilled Australian sculptor whose work masterfully blends natural elements with abstract forms, creating thought provoking and visually captivating sculptures.
Peter's ecletic and humourous personality comes through in his artworks and we especially enjoy his use of wood in his sculptures in original and thought provoking ways. Wooden art pieces often seem a bit boring but Peter's works really spring to life.
If you love sculpture then we highly recommended organising a visit to Peter Butterworth Garden and Sculpture Gallery.
