Born in 1970 in Nancy France, Catherine grew up as an only child. Her devoted father was a painter and inventor. After his sudden death, Catherine at the age of 4 years old experienced her tumultuous childhood with a creative need to express her grief and sadness with images and colors. During her teen years, Catherine developed her skillful draftsmanship and a trendy sense of design.

At 16, she moved to California to further her artistic education where she continued to excel in ceramics, drawing, oil painting and web design. Catherine earned her B.A. at UC Santa Barbara. Catherine learned to integrate her emotions onto her artwork as a tool to express her "mood of the moment". Her artwork is known to be intuitive and emotionally evoking deep sentiments in all viewers.

In 2003, Catherine returned to school to earn her M.A. in clinical Psychology. Today, Catherine is professionally training as a Marriage Family Therapist and happily utilizes her artistic skills to work with adults, teens and children survivors of trauma.

Statement:
"Art and Psychology are my two strongest passions. Psychology is a way of life. It is a pure and solid vessel to navigate the vast emotional sea of the human kind and its behaviors. Art is a tool to channel thoughts and emotions. It helps me express my needs, fears, and moods. I stop painting when the image feels right and complete."
