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.
This LIVE community 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 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.

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 can view the video replays for each of the 10 lessons until January 16, 2024. After that time, those who sign up for Collage Joy will have lifetime access to all the content.
You probably already have what you need to create stunning collage papers and mini-collages. However an optional supplies list for Collage Kickstart LIVE will also be provided. You will also receive the Collage Joy comprehensive supplies list should you choose to continue the journey with me after Kickstart LIVE is over.
You can access the LIVE lessons within our private Facebook group every day at 2pm est. If you aren't able to join us live, there will be a recording available both in the Facebook group and on the Simplero workshop platform.
Our 10-day live art adventure begins January 1, 2024. You will be sent an email everyday starting the 1st with a link to join that day's lesson.
You will receive a confirmation welcome email as soon as you sign up. This will include login instructions and a link to join our private FaceBook group where all 10 lessons will be hosted January 1-10. You will also receive a random password for the classroom site in order to view the replay videos if you cannot join us live. Once you are logged in, you will be able to go into your settings and change the password to your liking.
