Why Creatives Love COLLAGE JOY
Hear from your fellow artists in their own words
"Collage Joy has been the best class I have taken over the internet. As a retired teacher I appreciate a course that is well planned out. Catherine has done an amazing job organizing the class into incremental steps. Both beginners and people with more collage experience would enjoy the collages that build intricacies each week.
- Denise Szafran
"Collage Joy is probably the most detailed and well thought out online art course that I have taken to date. Collage Joy is a master class for any artist seriously wanting to learn or elevate the art of torn paper."
- Melanie Grant
"Just want you to know how MUCH I’m enjoying Collage Joy! I am just so blown away by the depth of all the material and lessons you are giving to us. It is so much FUN, totally engaging, and I love that we end up with ART!
- Ginny Ogden
"What I loved about Collage Joy was that we weren't just copying the instructor's work. Cat gave us guidelines, and we created our own unique pieces. It was fun to see everyone's work...similar in color but so different in style. Now, I can use Cat's guidelines to create any type of collage I want. The sky's the limit!!"

Taking this workshop really catapulted me into a different head space for creating my art. I now have a whole new set of skills to take my art to new levels. It was an amazing workshop. Not to be missed."

NEUTRAL COLLAGE SERIES
Weeks 3 - 4
You will begin by exploring how your neutral papers work together, starting with two warm-up sketchbook exercises that you'll wish would never end. Then using what you discovered during the warm-ups, you'll create four or more 4" x 4" collages using neutral papers, and finish them by adding a shape that intrigues you.

COOL COLLAGE SERIES
Weeks 5 - 6
Building on what you learned making your neutral collages, you'll add cool colors to your palette. Starting with two sketchbook exercises to see what color combinations speak to you, you'll use this information to create four or more 6" x 6" collages, adding an image transfer and a shape to finish your mini-series.

"Cat takes you through the whole process in detailed steps, from mixing your own color palette to hanging your professionally finished work of art. I felt as if I was in a live class because she was responsive to every question posed on either the course site or in the live weekly Q&A. The private Facebook group was an essential feature for me. I had the support and encouragement of fellow classmates as we faced the same challenges.
- Kathy Conway
"I really liked the idea of working in a series with a limited palette. I hadn't done that before and found it took my collages to a new level. I love how the lessons build on each other, bit by bit adding more complexity to one's designs as you go. I'd definitely recommend this class! You'll have a blast.
- Susan Berkowitz
"The course is excellent in many, many ways. My personal journey was huge. I started with very little knowledge of collage although I had a love of it. I have done other online course with a limited amount of success. I loved the small and very clear steps to moving forward. You have changed my life for the better.

Hi, I'm Cat!
I’m so happy that your path has led you 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.
Why collage?
Collage is a uniquely powerful medium for “peeling back the layers” and uncovering your most authentic, self-realized self. My own art journey began at age 33, when I decided to create my first collage on a whim. At the time, I was stuck in an overwhelming job and just needed an outlet to relieve chronic stress.
But something magical happened that day. I realized that for the first time in many years, I was having FUN.
That one joy-filled collage set my life on a course I could never have imagined… one that took me through career changes, my own art business, a cancer diagnosis, an unexpected divorce, and an endless stream of hotel rooms as I took my art with me on the road.
Through it all, I stayed committed to creating sacred art from the deepest part of my soul… even if that meant lugging 50-pound suitcases of art supplies and creating late at night after working my day job.
Today I am grateful to be a full-time artist and teacher, showing creatives (like you!) how to make collages that awaken, inspire and speak truth into the world.
The methods I teach in 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.
