BIOGRAPHY: Cathy Bluteau Cathy Bluteau is a self-taught mixed media artist who plays with everything from paper to fabric to found objects. After 18 years in the corporate world Cathy followed her passion and is now devoting herself full time to her art work. Her colorful and whimsical style can be found in her water color and acrylic pieces and her collage work and altered items.

Cathy started her blog Cathy Michaels Design in 1998 to showcase her work and share her love of all-things-art with like-minded artists.

In addition to her blog she maintains an etsy shop which she stocks and restocks based on her latest creative obsessions! Her items are also sold in 2 retail outlets in Montreal’s West Island area where she resides.

Cathy also creates, designs and produces a full line of art workshops where she shares all of her techniques. These are offered both live and online in Canada, the US and around the world.

Cathy’s work has been published in many Somerset Publications including Artful Blogging, Somerset Life, and Art Journaling as well as in many of the Cloth Paper Scissor publications. She has also been a featured artist on many online blogs and has been interviewed on U.S. based podcasts such as Talk Radio online.
