Alexi Butts is a Los Angeles–based ceramic artist whose sculptural work examines expressions of gender and the complexities of the female experience. Born and raised in Hong Kong, her perspective as a Third Culture Kid informs a practice rooted in themes of movement, memory, and belonging.

In 2019, Butts was an artist-in-residence at A.I.R. Vallauris, where she began and exhibited Langue, Mémoire, Lieu. She has contributed to collaborative exhibitions including Nicole Seisler’s Preparing at Craft Contemporary and Andrew Young’s CA: Found Among the Leaves; a Bibliophytology at the LA Arboretum. Her work has appeared in publications including Careless Magazine, Inkblot: Literary Magazine, and on the cover of the Scripps College Journal. More recently, select sculptures were featured in the 13th Biennial Ontario Open Art Exhibition and "From the Earth" at Light Art Space during the CLAY Festival 2024 in Silver City, NM.

Butts connects with the broader art community as Operation Coordinator for Pasadena Photography Arts. She earned her B.A. from Scripps College in 2020, double majoring in French and Studio Art with a concentration in ceramics.
