At the age of eight Cathy sat across the kitchen table from her mother as she did a pencil sketch of her. Once finished, her mother turned the picture around and slid it across the table to give it to Cathy. She looked down upon it and in amazement realized her mother had just handed her and exact likeness of her. It was in that very moment that Cathy prayed quietly within herself, “Jesus, I am asking You for two things and two things only with my life. Let me be a mother and let me be an artist.”

Throughout schooling she was forbidden taking the arts with teachers and counselors alike proclaiming that she was too smart for the arts and therefore must take all the math and sciences instead. Finally in college she began to pursue her true love of the arts only to be told by her husband that she must be an art teacher and not an artist herself. Later she would be told to be a businesswoman instead. All reasonings being that she must make money first in order to pursue her real passion. Her dreams would die over and over again. Her kids would come to be grown and gone. Finally, in her 50’s she was left alone and as she looked down upon the only living creature left in the house, her cat, she would come to a realization. No one was there anymore to tell her she can’t; and the cat wasn’t saying so either. So she did. She began to pursue her first love…the arts. This website represents the beginnings of what is to yet come…
