Studio 308

Award winning artist and instructor, Heather Leigh Butler, has been creating art since she could walk. Her first foray into a county fair art show in middle school brought her creativity fully to the surface with a first place win in her first showing.  Awards throughout her high school and college career followed on the county fair circuit.  In college, her senior seminar and group showings were well received but it wasn’t until her graduation from Shippensburg University in 2007 with a BA in art that she was able to live life fully devoted to art, music, and self-expression. 

2021 brought Heather her first solo show at the Tamaqua Art Center in August.  She also transitioned to The Walk In Art Center first as the Education Director and Rental Manager, then as a studio artist shortly following.  Her watercolors, drawings, painting, and photography have received many accolades and placements in group exhibitions through her journey as an artist.  Through her multi-disciplined approach to art, she’s made a positive impression on the industry and will continue to explore new methods and tackle new challenges. Art is more than a passion; it is a way of life.
