In October 2016, Burst of Butterflies Create & Paint Studio was featured in an article titled “Bursting with Creativity,” published in partnership with the Chandler Chamber of Commerce and hosted on azcentral.com.
The story highlighted Burst of Butterflies as a family-owned art studio in historic Downtown Chandler, celebrating its wide range of creative offerings and its mission to nurture creativity and connection within the community.
The article also shared the deeper meaning behind the name Burst of Butterflies — a reflection of transformation, resilience, and beauty emerging from hardship. The studio was founded by Cheryl Tisland and her mother, Peg Peters, inspired by Cheryl’s younger sister Risa and her remarkable recovery journey following a traumatic brain injury. What began as a family dream became a welcoming creative space designed to bring people together through art.
At the time of the feature, Burst of Butterflies offered a wide variety of art experiences, including pottery painting, canvas painting, glass art, clay sculpting, and more — with a focus on making creativity accessible to everyone, regardless of experience level. Guests were encouraged to walk in, try something new, and leave with a finished piece they created themselves.
Nearly a decade later, that same spirit continues to guide everything we do. Burst of Butterflies remains rooted in Downtown Chandler, proudly serving families, friends, and visitors looking for meaningful, hands-on creative experiences.
