Harold Arthur James "Spaj" Atkinson (born 1899 - 1964) was an English artist, known for his Butterfly Wing art.
Spaj Atkinson was born in 1899 in Britain. Atkinson suffered from several severe disablities including deafness, blindness, and paralysis, all following an accident. "known as “Spaj” because as a child he was small like a sparrow; he was deaf and blind in one eye but produced wonderful art, using butterfly wings."
Atkinson created fantasy like work, where he would use the real wings of butterflies mixed with watercolour paintings to craft fantasy-like paintings.
