Mike Butler attended the Ontario College of Art for four years, graduating in 1980 as an Associate of the OCA in Fine Arts. For several years he worked in watrcolours and ink developing an expressionistic style.

Shortly after graduating, he purchased a Colour computer from Radio Shack. Teaching himself to program in Colour Basic, he began creating his first Digital Art and began experimenting with animated Mondrain style graphics.

He became fascinated by the endless stream of digital imagery that was possible and the fascinating and surreal, abstract patterns that the computer allowed, simply by tweaking a few parameters and formulas. He was hooked!

In 1991 he created and maintained the Virtual Palette www.mikyo.com/vpalette/index.htm - an electronic bulletin board system for artists that predated the Web. More recently, he created Durham Artists Sociat Network www.dasonet.org/ to help promote the arts in Durham Region.
