Learn how to get out of your own way
Become the artist you were meant to be…
So you can save that one person you were meant to save
……and that person could be you.
You can watch the “how-to” videos on any artistic practice out there.
But ‘collecting the bones of your soul’ and turning that into visual poetry is something you have to experience.
It can be intimidating to turn the camera or your gaze toward yourself.
But this isn’t about trying to capture the perfect portrait
or scrutinizing your body for not looking “right”.
This is about turning your gaze onto the river that runs underneath the surface of your life.
The unseen, but deeply felt places inside yourself.
The space that lives in between the words.
That “stuff” that’s hard to articulate with words.
We turn THAT into a visual treasure.
We use ourselves as a vessel to explore our feelings through and onto the photograph.
We release the need to judge and fall more deeply in love with ourselves.

DAILY: Support and feedback on your work inside our private Facebook Group. I’ll be visiting there frequently to look at your work and give you suggestions moving forward with your Self Portraiture as Medicine and the process you’re going through of releasing limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, bringing in new habits and beliefs for the road you want to pave now and the process of falling in love with yourself even more deeply than you thought possible.
What they’re saying about my work and this course
“Catherine listens with all of her senses so her suggestions are always the perfect key to unlocking your creativity. ”
“I’ve never felt so safe and supported in any other community or course before. Catherine helped me find my voice and know that I’m worthy of taking up space and expressing myself in my art and in my life and relationships.”
“Catherine is a seer. She just knows things. I trust her to guide me in my life and when I’m feeling stuck in my art practice she guides me quickly out of it. Her conceptual art and the way she creates her work inspired my songwriting in ways I didn’t expect. ”
“I listened to the recording of your teachings this morning while I walked in the woods. I think I need to hear it one more time today to see what else I pick up from it. I feel more awake now. You were exactly what I needed to step back and forward - if that makes any sense. Thank you again. So much. You are a very special human. You don’t need me to tell you that, but I am just blown away by your energy and your just way of being. IDK it is palpable and powerful and good for me. ”
“Working with Catherine was life altering. In the best of ways. I was nervous. She put me at ease. It reminded me of how vital it is to step out and bare our soul as often as possible. Life affirming and soul recognition - that’s what working with Catherine is like. ”
“Working with Catherine is an experience in itself. No one can offer you what Catherine can. Her work is like entering a deeper, spiritual level. ”
BUT WAIT! THERE’S MORE!!!
Business and Abundance School for Artists
5 Week Business and Abundance Activation
Only 8 Spots Available
April 18th - May 19th
This is an additional advanced Program for those who sign up for this February 2023 session of Self Portraiture as Medicine.
This is Designed to Focus on each individuals specific goals and dreams with their art and their lives.
Do any of these sound familiar?
You dream of having your artwork in juried art shows online and in galleries internationally and need support with each step.
You dream of teaching your own Online course and have no idea where to start.
You dream of being a full time artist or photographer or both but struggle with how to price your art or your photography sessions and feel uncomfortable with the idea of pricing, marketing, contracts, website, social media and all the things tied to being in business.
You dream of feeling confident enough with your work and your talent to charge what your work is really worth.
You dream of having an abundant mindset, but you’re stuck inside self doubt and worry about what others will think.
You look at my career as a Full Time Artist, Photographer, Mentor and my travels to France while being a parent and wonder if that could ever be possible for you. You want to know the inner workings of my business, my spiritual and personal growth practices and how I’m able to manage it all.
If this or something similar rings a bell. I’d love for you to take one of these 8 spots and join us on this journey of business and abundance activation.
Each person brings their dreams, wishes, questions to the table and I work with each person individually and together in our small group so you can plant your feet more firmly inside the steps you need to take…and you will take them…while you’re inside this safe sacred container. It’s not just handouts and systems to put into place… this is about integrating your purpose and intention more fully into that stuff that looks and feels overwhelming.
You’ll leave this course having already taken big actions and having big shifts inside yourself.
You’ll take your work and your life to the next level.
SCHEDULE:
We Meet Tuesdays on Zoom from 10:30-12:00pm
We Meet Thursdays on Zoom from 10:30-12:00 as an Action Group. I’m there with you while you all actively take actions and steps toward your vision and dreams.
