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.
