About Us
Our Art
The subjects in this artwork (butterflies) are sourced from cruelty-free Amazonian sanctuaries. We take great care to ensure all species used in our art are NOT endangered, and protected from harm through the duration of their natural lives. Local artisans and caretakers work together to provide us with the products we sell and we, in turn provide a fair income for their work. Together, we can help ensure that we use art, nature, and commerce to help create an appetite for knowledge about these creatures, that ultimately leads to increased increase in their protection overall.
Company Bio
The Butterfly Connection was built on the road, traveling coast-to-coast to bring our unique, handcrafted pieces to state fairs, music festivals, rodeos, and shows. While the open road is always an incredible experience, the serene sandbar of South Padre Island, Texas, is home base.
South Padre Island is also part of the majestic monarch butterfly migration path, creating a beautiful backdrop for our work and mission. The island’s commitment to preserving local habitats, including planting milkweed for monarchs, aligns perfectly with our dedication to nature conservation.
A special member of the team, Sharky, joined us as a rescue puppy from North Dallas. With his boundless energy and loyal spirit, Sharky is a daily reminder of the joy and connection that nature brings to our lives. Whether hiking the dunes or running along the beach, Sharky inspires us to appreciate the beauty of every moment.
Thank you for supporting The Butterfly Connection. Your love for art and nature helps support a small business and big dreams!
Peace and Love,
The Butterfly Connection
Our Mission
The lifecycle of the butterfly is one of the most studied scientific concepts for young minds. Observation of metamorphosis would not be nearly as intriguing to students without the “grand finale”. Following a simple egg through the process being a caterpillar, and onto the magnificent butterfly allows students to remain engaged. Freezing these subjects in time, during their grandest phase of live, creates an opportunity for youth and adults alike to observe every detail of their development at its final stage.
The beauty of Butterflies have long been a muse for artists, decorators, and simple observation. If you are looking to provide an accent piece in your home that is unique and encompasses elegant and simple style, The Butterfly Connection may have just the piece you are looking for! Or perhaps you are an educator and need something stimulating to have on your walls to help keep day dreamers entertained and engaged during your instruction. In either situation, your choice to display some of nature’s best art is a gift to others in your company!
We can all agree that it is not rare that animals endure hardships in the name of making them accessible to the human eye. Animals are often subject to mishandling and sub-par living conditions. The Butterfly Connection proudly participates in commerce with butterfly sanctuaries who respect the natural lifespan of the butterfly, and we reward the ethical business practices of those who oversee the sanctuaries by purchasing the specimens after a natural departure from this world.
It is our hope that our financial participation in these small economies helps them succeed. And our craftsmanship and care for our craft, creates something that inspires others to value these beautiful creatures, and become more mindful in their daily actions, contributing to environmental sustainability.
