Yuan Butler (b. China) is a visual artist and art professor based in Duluth, Georgia. Working primarily in oil on large-scale canvas and wood panels, she earned an MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design after immigrating to the United States in 2014.

Her work draws from early training in drawing and traditional Chinese ink painting, shaping a practice grounded in memory and imagination. Butler has exhibited widely in the United States, and her work is held in both private and public collections. In 2023, she received the Cecile Adler Cliffer Memorial Cutting Edge Award from the National Association of Women Artists. In 2024, her work was featured in New American Paintings, MFA Issue 171. In 2025, her series Four Seasons was acquired into the permanent collection of the SCAD Museum of Art. In early 2026, her work was juried into New South 7 exhibition in Kailin Art.
