Welcome! I’m Catherine. It’s nice to meet you and I’m so happy you’re here!

I’ve always been an artsy sort of person and, if you are too, you’ve come to the right place!
 
Even if you’ve never dabbled at all, come and play with me here in the studio.  I bet you’ll have a marvelous time.
 
Growing up as one of the oldest of 10 siblings, it was often my job to teach and entertain the little kids so I learned to invent interesting things to do at almost a moment’s notice.  Becoming licensed and certified as an elementary level school teacher was a natural next step once I went to college.
 
I earned my degree in Elementary Education and taught little kids for years and years.  I took college class after class and eventually, I became an Art Teacher. I taught at 2 schools and reached almost 400 students every week for 20 more years.  What fun that was!  Still, it eventually became time to gradually move into work that allowed me to use my artistic abilities in a different way.  It was time for me to have my own business.
 
I then decided to learn all I could about the graphic side of Art.  I bought copies of Photoshop and Illustrator via the teacher discount they offered at the time and learned to use them as much as possible. I opened 2 shops on Etsy and sold my floral paintings in the form of clipart that people could use to make beautiful wedding invitations, greeting cards, t-shirt designs, and much more.
 
I’ve long since retired from classroom teaching and I’ve still got hundreds of ideas about Art running through my head.  I still get a big kick out of making it, teaching it, enjoying it, and passing the love of it on to others.
 
Flowerdance Studio gives me a place to post all of those ideas and give them to you so you can enjoy the fun of learning to paint. Together, we’ll create all sorts of beautiful pieces that you can be proud of. You’ll be able to be satisfied with what you’ve made, display it in your home, and make gifts for people too. 

“Come play in the studio with me.  The doors are always open!”

Who knows where your new found skills will ultimately lead you and you’ll certainly have fun while learning!
