A Community for Mixed Media art where you can 

  • Feel a sense of UNITY and belonging
  • Awaken an inner VALUE  as you Nurture your Creative Spirit
  • Use your IMAGINATION, expand your VISION and INSPIRE each other.
  • Feel the SECURITY of a positive community who's goal is to Retreat from daily chaos and fill uplifted through the calming influence of art. 

I encourage you to take the lesson and add your own flair and style.  I provide the ideas and teach you how I accomplished the projects; but you are encouraged to make it your own.   Our community is filled with creatives of all levels., so there is opportunity to learn from one another.  Art work is NEVER critiqued ... only shared as a way of sharing ones accomplishment, as well as, feeling encouragement and support.  

Would you love a steady source of creative ideas and the freedom to try new techniques—without pressure or overwhelm?

It’s easy to fall into the habit of telling yourself, “I’ll make time for art later,” or “I want to create something, but I don’t know what.” Over time, that longing gets pushed aside, and creativity becomes another thing you miss instead of enjoy.

My Art Sisters was created to change that.

This is a beautiful, nurturing art community where women are invited to step back into a time when creating was relaxing, meaningful, and genuinely fun again. Inside, you’ll find a growing library of projects and ideas, gentle guidance to explore new techniques or strengthen existing skills, and encouraging conversations with women from around the world.

Everything is recorded so you can create at your own pace—when it fits your life, not when you feel rushed. Here, art isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about connection, confidence, and rediscovering the joy of making something with your own hands.

You’ll also receive access to my Real Positive Change creative journaling program, GROW JOY—a gentle, faith-centered approach designed to help you:

• Respond with greater calm instead of reacting from stress, anger, or frustration
• Feel more emotionally steady, confident, and grounded in everyday moments
• Navigate overwhelm and challenging situations using the simple, practical S.T.O.R.Y. process

This work is simple and approachable, yet deeply meaningful when practiced consistently. Through creative journaling, thoughtful Creative Reminders, and the use of gentle art to anchor new perspectives, you’ll begin to re-pattern your thoughts, experience renewal, and reconnect with the inner strength God has already placed within you.

Enjoy the benefits of BOTH COMMUNITIES for one great price. 

In My Art Sisters, you can let your creativity flow, feel the freedom of self-expression, and soak in the calming resotrative benefits of making art.  As you create you'll release stress, nurture your emotional wellbeing, and discover confidence in your artistic voice - all in a supportive community of like-minded women.  We all face stress everyday - it's part of life.  But when stress becomes constant, it wears down our emotional resilience and leaves us feeling reactive, tired, or overwhelmed.

🌿 Real Positive Change gives you practical tools to calm your nervous system, restore balance, and strengthen your ability to respond with peace instead of reacting in frustration. You’ll learn simple techniques that offset daily stress and empower you to handle life’s challenges with greater clarity and control.

I AM READY!

Hi, I'm Cathy ❣️ 

 

I’m a Mixed Media artist, creative mentor, and well-being trainer who’s passionate about helping women take time for renewal and use creativity to reset their emotional energy — so they can step back into life feeling refreshed, centered, and strong.

I am a Possibilitarian — someone who believes deeply in possibilities, especially the possibility that positive change can happen even when life feels really hard and difficult.

I believe women are the heart keepers — the emotional centers of families, friends, and communities. We sense what’s going on around us and instinctively nurture others. As mothers especially, our emotional state — even when we try to hide it — is deeply felt by our children. That’s why it matters so much that women have a space to care for their own emotional wellbeing.

🌻🌻 My vision is simple: to give you a place of possibility — a place to renew your mind and emotional wellbeing, a place to practice your art, and carry that joy into the lives of others.


Why I Do This Work

My creative path began in design. After earning a BFA degree from the University of North Texas in Interior Design and working with a prestigious architecture firm in Dallas, I opened my own business helping clients create beautiful homes.

A pivotal point came one day as I stood in the foyer of a new client and heard this thought:

“You’re helping create a beautiful home, but what about the chaos she feels inside? It won’t matter how beautiful her home is if she’s feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, or disconnected from herself.”

That question stayed with me. Life soon gave it deeper meaning as I noticed growing levels of anxiety in our children — especially my oldest daughter, Aimee.  She was a gifted young performer who danced and sang on the Jim Stafford stage in Branson.   She captivated audiences and stole hearts, but what few could see was her quiet struggle with OCD and perfectionism. I had just completed my training in stress management and began working with her, when a tragic car accident took her from us. I quickly realized that all of this training wasn’t just for her — it was to help our family navigate the loss and grief that followed.

Because of the challenges she faced, my mission became clear:

To teach women and families how to lower the stress that fuels anxiety, shift the stories they tell themselves, and find creative ways to express feelings that words can’t always hold.


My Approach

For more than 40 years I’ve worked in art, design, and wellness. Along the way I’ve trained in practices that support both the creative spirit and emotional well-being, including:

  • Mixed media art, expressive painting, and collage

  • Journaling, affirmation, and reflection practices

  • Sand talk and creative emotional literacy techniques

  • Stress release practices such as deep breathing, music, and movement

  • EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique)

  • Reflexology and holistic wellness

I bring all of these together in My Art Sisters and Real Positive Change. 

Because women carry so much, this is your place to reset your emotional energy, clear the mental clutter so that God's voice can be heard, and step back into life feeling refreshed, and returning with joy.

What I Offer

Through my online membership, I guide women in:

  • The joys of painting & collage — unlocking creativity and confidence

  • Creative journaling & reflection — renewing the mind and quieting the chaos

  • Emotional release practices — helping women reset their energy and return refreshed

  • Artful living tools — practical ways to calm the emotional atmosphere at home

Whether through online membership, in-person classes, or creative retreats, my goal is always the same: to restore peace, spark joy, and create space to hear God’s whisper.
