Why Collage Keepsake Students
LOVE the Harvest™ Collage Method
"My favorite part of this workshop was using the Harvest Collage technique, which I have utilized repeatedly. It's an easy way to get wonderful results: you never know what you will get in the end, and I love surprises. I also enjoy making and giving the framed ornaments, which were very popular at Christmas with friends and family." - Gail Wynn
"My favorite part was working with (Cat's) Harvest Collage technique...what a time saver. Once I started making my own collage papers in my personalized palette, everything fell into place. I can't recommend this course enough. Cat's thorough explanations, fun teaching style and supportive Facebook group have all created a wonderful art community for which I'm deeply grateful" - Eva Potter
"I really enjoyed the harvesting part the most. I initially had a hard time with doing a collage just for the purpose of cutting it up. But then I went with the flow, and it was so much fun! I ended up making lots of pendant necklaces, keychains, and magnets, some of which I gave to friends {as} gifts, and other that I sold. I highly recommend this course and the instructor."

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 collage-based art that channels 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 as I worked a corporate job.
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 art that awakens, inspires and shines light into the world.
COLLAGE KEEPSAKE reflects this intention as we listen to our inner knowing and integrate our art into our everyday lives. I would be truly honored if you joined me on this heart-opening and transformative journey!
