The original artwork used in the poster design for the 2025 River Arts Fest, Memphis, TN.

AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE.

This year’s commemorative fine arts poster, Rivers of Babylon by Hillary Butler, captures both the energy of the river and the vibrancy of our community. An abstract landscape painted in acrylic on paper, the piece was inspired by the city’s connection to the Mississippi River. The sweeping black swirl at the top evokes the river itself, with the intuitive process that I use brings focus to color by layering translucent paints to create depth, movement, and harmony. With seafoam and green tones leading the palette, the work reflects my fascination with how color can sing when carefully pushed, pulled, and balanced on the canvas.

"Rivers of Babylon" 36" x 48 acrylic on paper framed to approx 44" x 56."

Shipping is included. NOT AVAILABLE TO SHIP FRAMED. Will unframe and ship the art rolled in a shipping tube.

If purchased in Memphis, the piece comes with the frame.
