Butterfly Miniature Original by Karen Neely - #2M133

Butterfly Miniature Original by Karen Neely – 2M133

Original Acrylic | 2" × 2" | Custom Italian Molding (3" × 3" Framed)

Delicate and full of color, this butterfly miniature original by Northern California artist Karen Neely captures the graceful beauty of a monarch butterfly resting gently among soft pink blossoms. The vivid orange and black pattern of the butterfly’s wings stands out beautifully against the fresh green and blue background, creating a light and uplifting composition.

Neely’s expressive brushwork brings texture and movement to the scene, with fine detailing in the wings contrasted by loose, painterly strokes in the surrounding foliage. The result is a harmonious balance of precision and softness, all within an intimate 2x2-inch scale.

Expertly presented in custom Italian molding, the finished piece measures 3x3 inches and is ready to display. This one-of-a-kind original is perfect for collectors of miniature fine art, nature lovers, or anyone drawn to the elegance and symbolism of butterflies.

About the Artist – Karen Neely

Karen Neely is a Northern California artist born in Monterey.

She has been painting since her youth, studying privately under her mother (a professional artist) as well as other renowned artists through her parents’ many galleries and art shows. She later continued her studies at Chico State, San Francisco State, and the Art Academy in San Francisco.

Her first award came at the age of 16, when she received the Bank of America–sponsored Junior Achievement Award, which helped fund her formal art education.

Today, Karen’s work is featured in several fine art galleries throughout California. Her time living in Hawaii, Monterey, Lake Tahoe, Southern California, and near Northern California’s wine country inspires her creations. She can often be found painting outdoors—by the vineyards, along the coast, or lakeside.

While Karen works in mixed media on canvases up to 6x6 feet, she is especially known for her miniature acrylic originals, set in custom frames such as hand-rubbed maple and imported Italian mouldings.
