What others have said about
"I've done lots of collage videos here and there but none have inspired me like yours. These lessons have lit me up and given me such joy. I've been feeling kinda stuck in my art, not sure where to go next. Now I'm so excited to explore your techniques more and cannot wait to sign up for the full workshop!"
- Dana Marie
"I truly enjoyed EVERYTHING about Collage Kickstart!!! You expertly captured a wonderful experience for all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have shared and being so brave! You have inspired me that it is never too late for another beginning."
- Jennifer Trujillo
"This workshop was just what I needed. I was stuck in the same old techniques, and a little bored. And you were right, it is absolutely addicting. Now have a huge pile of papers I created alongside you. Thank you for this awesome experience".
- Peggy Freedman
"I did not think I would gain that much from this class. I had done collage years ago and did not expect to learn anything new. But I was wrong! This was a great class, with lots of new, exciting ideas and techniques to try! A lot of "free" classes have been a disappointment to me, but not this one. Thank you Catherine!"

Hi, I'm Cat!
I’m so happy you’re here.
As a mixed media artist with 30+ years of experience, my intention is to help you (re)connect, (re)awaken and create collages that channel YOUR inner voice.
My newest online workshop reflects that intention as we quiet our minds and tap into what makes us feel most alive.
The techniques I teach in Collage Kickstart, Collage Kickstart 2.0 and Collage Joy changed my life and the lives of my students. They can change yours too. I would be deeply honored to guide you on this heart-opening journey.

Hit this button to ask me and I'll respond jiffy quick.
This class is intended for all levels of artists, from those just beginning to explore mixed media to those who already exhibit their art. I will be sharing my personal step-by-step process for creating intuitive collage. As with any workshop, you will naturally integrate the parts that resonate and are meant for your stage of artistic growth, no matter your artistic skill.
You will have lifetime access to the 9 lessons, so you can take your time, savor and enjoy!
You probably already have what you need to create stunning collage papers and mini-collages. However an optional supplies list for Collage Kickstart 2.0 will also be provided.
You can access the Collage Kickstart 2.0 lessons within the Simplero workshop platform. If you have already taken Collage Kickstart (the original 5-day), this new class will be added to your list of available workshops.
Your first lesson will be sent to you as soon as you sign up, and then a new one will arrive every 24 hours for the next 8 days until you have all 9 lessons. After that, you can repeat the lessons as often as you wish.
You will receive a confirmation welcome email as soon as you sign up. This will include login instructions and a link to the Simplero classroom. You will also receive a random password for the classroom site and once you are logged in, you will be able to go into your settings and change the password to your liking.
