Some on the shoreline may be familiar with the Guilford resident’s ongoing exhibit at Mercy by the Sea in Madison. On display is Catherine’s series of thirteen paintings depicting aspects of the Divine Feminine called The Mary Paintings. Catherine, who earned her BA from Mount Holyoke College and MA from the University of Connecticut, has facilitated expressive arts workshops and retreats at Mercy by the Sea, and elsewhere in Connecticut and New Mexico. She has also been a member of the Shoreline Arts Trail for many years.

Catherine’s book explores the complexities of how to balance love-based relationships with one’s individual needs and desires. She takes us on her travels and adventures in South America, where cacao was first discovered. Her sharing of the significance of chocolate and the constancy of the moon and the relevance of its phases adds an interesting perspective to her story. There are many lessons she learned in her relationships with family members. And of paramount importance was the healing of unresolved wounding from a prior existence.

As a psychotherapist, Catherine works with others in helping them know themselves and find

the affirmations and permissions to follow their hearts’ truths. She also hopes that her book provides inspiration, motivation, guidance and possibilities for those dealing with challenges and losses in their lives. As her editor, Cynthia F. Davidson, says, “Her story is good medicine.”
