Tom Butterfield

Tom Butterfield: What started as a modest collection of 12 works has now turned into a 1,486 square-metre museum with more than 80,000 artifacts, according to The Telegram. I never know what is around the corner, said Butterfield, a youthful and trim 65. I always expect the unexpected. In other words, I go looking for the unexpected because I believe that thats what will happen in life. If you think good things happen in life, they will happen in life, and you will get good results and But it also speaks of the worldwide vision of Tom Butterfield, Masterworks founder and creative director, who has spent the last 25-plus years looking to find and showcase art from and inspired by Bermuda. Part entrepreneur, part politician, part circus master, Butterfield is above all an enthusiastic spokesman for the arts. And in working for his beloved Masterworks, he is also part detective in hunting down assets for the picturesque gallery built in a renovated former arrowroot factory in Bermudas Botanical Gardens.
