MAKE THE WORK NMFW™
MONTHLY!
For artists who refuse to let fear, perfectionism, or inconsistency decide what gets made.
We're creating a culture where making the work isn't an event
it's an identity.
No Matter Fucking What.
Being hard on yourself doesn’t make you a better artist.
It creates avoidance.
That ends here.
We Meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month for 2 hours on zoom
10:30am pst
Recording included if you can't make it live
Face the blank canvas, camera that's gathering dust, project you keep avoiding
with confidence
JOIN US for the MONTHLY GATHERINGS
so we can keep momentum going.
This is :
Nervous System Regulation.
Grounding Techniques.
Future Scripting.
An Intuitive Teaching.
Followed by open time to
make the work you're aching to make.
You can turn your camera off or leave it on. I'll play different music playlists you can listen to or just mute and listen to your own or just keep your space quiet.
I'll check in at the end to see how everyone is going. We close each gathering by setting intentions for the next month.
If you're interested in feedback on your work you can add on 1:1 mentoring calls me with.
Monthly Gatherings are Recorded

Do you ever feel stuck inside a pattern?
You want to show up and make art regularly. You set yourself up for success. You start making art for a few days.
And then you find yourself going right back to your old routine.
Maybe it's because you're stuck in self doubt. You're not sure what to do next with your art.
Maybe it's because you tell yourself you're not talented enough so why bother.
Maybe you're feeling fear of what other people might think.
You beat yourself up thinking something must be wrong with you.
And then you think about making art for days, weeks, months and just cannot get back to it.
I know that feeling. I know that pattern.
I've been there too.
I'm going to walk you through the exact method I've used for myself … and that I teach hundreds of other artists, so they can get out of their own way and
make the work they're here to make.
And then we take action - The more you meet with us monthly - the more you create a new habit in your being on a somatic level. Making it easier for making art to become your new normal.

About Catherine
At 18, newly sober from a meth addiction, I picked up a camera and turned my pain into visual poetry.
It saved my life.
Three decades later, still sober, I’m exhibiting my work internationally in Milan, Paris, London, New York, and Los Angeles. And offering “Capturing Breath on Film” photo sessions globally.
I’m a single parent to my son, Max, who has Down syndrome. He keeps me anchored in presence, honesty, and what actually matters.
I believe loving yourself and making the work, no matter fucking what, isn’t a concept. It’s a lifestyle.

FAQs
DO I NEED TO BE A VIsual ARTIST TO ATTEND?
No. This workshop is for artists, photographers, writers, makers, and creatives of all kinds. If you've been feeling stuck and want to create more consistently, you're welcome here.
WHAT IF I DON'T FEEL CREATIVE RIGHT NOW?
Perfect. This isn't for people who are overflowing with momentum. It's for people who have ideas, projects, and work they want to make but can't seem to get moving on.
WILL I get feedback on my art?
The Monthly Sessions are for grounding, and creating your art in a supportive space on a regular monthly basis. 1:1 mentoring sessions are available for an extra fee.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
You'll learn why creative blocks happen, what's actually keeping you stuck, and practical tools for getting back into motion so you can stop thinking about your work and start making it.
WHAT IF I'M TOO BUSY TO MAKE ART RIGHT NOW?
Most people don't need more time. They need a way back in. Each month is recorded for you so when you feel like you need extra support you can review the session.

MAKE THE WORK NMFW™
Manifesto
Shame doesn't create more art.
It creates more avoidance.
It's easier to clean the floor with a toothbrush than it is to face the thing that matters.
I know.
I've lived it.
That's why MAKE THE WORK NMFW™ exists.
Not to teach artists how to become more disciplined.
But to help us stop treating ourselves like the enemy.
Because every single one of us has medicine hidden inside our work.
And medicine doesn't work if it stays in the bottle.
Art saved my life.
Not just making it.
Finding it.
Someone, somewhere, made something they never knew I'd need.
Their work found me when I needed it.
That's what art does.
It interrupts loneliness.
It reminds us we're not the only one.
We're all carrying something.
When we make honest art...
We send out proof that none of us have to carry it alone.
MAKE THE WORK NMFW™ isn't really about making more art.
It's about ending the cycle of self-abandonment.
Because every time we return to our work...
We're really returning to ourselves.
When we return to ourselves...
We naturally become more fully creatively expressed.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
Because the world doesn't just need your art.
It needs the version of you that exists when you stop leaving yourself behind.
