Bio: Mr. Butcher was born in Michigan and grew up in rural Northern California. As little child artist, he scrounged for rolls of paper in the local factory dump to use for his sketches. From earliest childhood, he loved expressing the Bible stories he learned from his Grandmother. Later, he asked Jesus into his heart, and decided to always use his talent for the Lord. After attending the College of Arts and Crafts in Berkeley, he and his young family moved back to Michigan, where he worked for Child Evangelism Fellowship. As part of the art department, he developed his Precious Moments line of children, in the form of greeting cards and posters, which were made public in 1975. In 1978 the figurines were developed. The Precious Moments Chapel was opened in 1978. These days, in spite of his fame and well-loved work, he enjoys a quiet life with his children and grandchildren.
