For most photographers the picture is the end product of the creative process. For Catherine Anderson, it's just the beginning. In a wide array of projects using techniques from Photoshop to needle and thread, she shows beginner and experienced photographers alike how to turn their pictures into handmade objects of art-from books and collages to customized greeting cards.
Catherine Anderson is one of those fortunate people who spends her days doing what she loves, be it teaching in her studio, exploring with her camera, journaling, mindfully walking her labyrinth, creating with fabric, image, paper, collage, and other mediums, and generally living a creative life. Catherine's journey of self-discovery has taken her from attorney, to photography-franchise owner, to creativity workshop facilitator. For more about Catherine, go to:
