“I love how much fun I had painting with Kathy! She taught me how to bury my frustrations from the past and create a beautiful portrayal of a bright and happy future. Time flew by as we created together! She gave me suggestions, was always encouraging and complimentary of my work. By the time I finished, I had completely forgotten that the evening started out with writing about all my frustrations. I left with a happy heart and excited to be able to look forward to my bright new future.”

“I attended Kathy’s Building Emotional Resilience classes and found the group atmosphere to be the most helpful aspect for me. The artwork in class was very effective in helping me learn colors to calm my emotions. The Lines of Light class helped me realize the fears that I was holding onto. I was able to reconnect with myself in new ways. I am interested in attending future classes.”

“Kathy’s classes are safe, fun, inspiring, calm and educational! I learned a new way to engage with grief, along with gaining wisdom and evidence that I am progressing emotionally. Kathy’s classes have tons of information. I learned so much and engaged with my emotions more than I expected.”

“Kathy’s Building Emotional Resilience classes helped me learn new ways to connect art with mental wellness. Her classes were very effective in helping me understand how to calm my emotions. I will definitely be using more art in the future.”

“Kathy helped me learn a new way to better understand that I can control my emotions and help my kids to learn to manage theirs as well.”

“I came to Kathy’s Warrioress class “Ready for Change” and found it to be meaningful and enjoyable. That artistic experience helped me realize that making changes in my life is a process, little pieces at a time. Things don’t change with one class, but I’m looking forward to exploring how art can help.”

“Kathy’s classes are a great way to build emotional resilience. She started the Warrioress class with a discussion about making changes in our lives. I thought her questions were thought provoking, and listening to what others are also going through helped me realize that we are all being challenged and learning to grow. I learned that I need to be more accepting of what is, and work with what I’ve been given. The length of the class was good — not rushed. Kathy teaches with wisdom, knowledge, and experience and knows how to invite the spirit of healing to class.”

“The most meaningful part of Kathy’s Warrioress class for me was the beginning discussion we had about change and writing words and sentences that were important to me. As I started to paint, I felt disappointed with how my colors were showing up, but I persevered in spite of wanting to cry. This class encouraged me to get out of my own head and stop judging myself so harshly. I feel like Kathy’s art classes are a great outlet for self-expression and tapping into real feelings that women tend to stifle.”

“This Warrioress class was thoughtful in its creation! Talking about the Warrioress mindset was empowering. This class was helpful in that it allowed me to be creative without boundaries. I was free to paint what I wanted. I opened my heart and soul to express the things God has called me to do. Open the door to your heart and soul — Kathy’s classes will help your visual process and your spiritual connections.”
