Kat grew up in New Jersey, in a family that valued art and music, and learned from an early age that creativity and self-expression are keys to a fulfilling life.  

She believes in the healing power of the arts and creative self-expression. Kat is a retired Board Certified, Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and spent over 40 years using the arts to help people find their visual, creative voices.

She offers workshops in collage, art journals, upcycled books, mixed media collage,  SoulCollage®, and more. 

Kat has two rules that she loves to share with workshop participants:

1) You can’t be wrong, and

2) Have fun!
