​Jamie Butterworth

A longtime lover of art, Jamie Butterworth joined her children in taking art classes when they were young, and has enjoyed painting landscapes, abstracts, and still lifes in oil and acrylic ever since.  She was the Arts Chair at her daughters' elementary school for several years where she developed a visual and performing arts program that included classes during and after school. She hired and assisted teachers, taking best practices from what she observed. Jamie has been enjoying teaching her own classes for over 10 years and recently won the Best of Burbank Award for kids art classes. She believes that every person is an artist whether they realize it or not. "There are so many different forms and materials, it's just a matter of finding what resonates with each person."

Jamie has two adult daughters and a fabulous husband, and is past President and Vice President of the Burbank Art Association and currently serves as the Programs Chair. She is an active volunteer with the Burbank Animal Shelter fostering kittens, for the Burbank Arts for All Foundation, and enjoys singing around town with her band, Jamie and The Silver Dollars.
