Originally from France, Butterfly moved to London in the early 2000s. She was captivated by the proliferation of art placed in the streets, whether stencils or else bearing a perfect harmony within their environment, like the Banksy kissing coppers in London's Soho. Due to their ephemeral nature, Butterfly started to document the streets pieces, firstly for her own records then went on fluttering around the art scene capturing the atmosphere of the shows and interesting characters.
