Art program for students of all ages.

Kathie’s Art Courses are designed to lead students toward educating or re-educating certain faculties where difficulties are experienced. Each project is approached in an artistic way and makes use of four main modalities: drawing, painting, sculpture and handwork.


Although the finished project is often beautiful as well as functional, the most important consideration is the process that students go through, a process that is both educational and therapeutic. For example, knitting, sewing, felting and sculpture perhaps most directly develop and train our fingers and the form building capacity of the hand muscles. Painting enhances color awareness, calms emotions and enriches imagination, while drawing trains fine motor skills, develops hand/eye coordination and has a calming effect on the inner life.

The art program has been taught in schools, retirement homes and corporations in the US and in Ontario, recently offering classes at: Donway Place, Massey Center, Ontario Early Years Centre, Hazelton Place, St Andrew's College and Torys LLP.
