Combining the Artist and the Healer:

Art is healing to both the creator and the viewer. Catherine is also a talented energy healer and combines her love of the creative process and her love of serving others through energy healing. “For me the best way to be all that I am is to do both together to serve in the world.!”

Testimonial:

I feel a deep kinship with my Kimono (Robe of Peace #9). I believe this stems from the fact that Catherine Foster, the artist, kept in touch with me throughout the creative process by means of her pictures and videos. She responded with great enthusiasm to my request to add American Sign Language which I use to communicate due to my congenital deafness. To this end, she created several beautiful carvings of the finger spelling for the word PEACE and cleverly incorporated them into the Robe. These carvings now show that Deaf people too have the same desire for peace as hearing people who are represented on the Robe by means of a variety of alphabets and ideograms, as well as the Blind represented in Braille.The carvings blend so effectively that it is hard to take one’s eyes off the work. Simply said, the Robe is so beautiful that the colors, design, and Foster’s creativity have me spellbound. Ms. Foster is an artist to be recognized locally, nationally, and internationally.

There is Perfection in Imperfection! by Catherine Foster

There is Perfection in Imperfection!

by Catherine Foster

Have you ever heard the expression, ” Hit by a Mack truck?”.  Well it happened. There came a day, an interesting day, when I jumped off a sailboat to help tie it up and landed flat on my face on a cold wet wood planked dock. With the movement of the boat going up and down, I was having trouble seeing where to jump and hesitated too long.  The boat was nearing the dock and I had to jump before we crashed the sailboat.  Everyone was yelling,  “Jump, Jump off! Now!” In a split moment I built up my courage to jump. Flying in the air, time seemed to go on forever. Boom …I landed flat on my face. My glasses went flying. My head jerked back as it hit the wood curb on the dock and I was knocked out. I lay motionless. My sister thought I was dead. My nose broken and the flesh hanging down from the tip of my nose…. blood was everywhere, and I was in shock.  I was rushed to the emergency room in the nearby town.

After that, an adventure of a new way of being in the world came together in my life.

Nothing ever happens to us that good does not come from it. Often it is just about turning around and seeing the blessings in our story……………..

Year of the Dragon- Dragon Robes by Catherine Foster

WE WELCOME THE YEAR OF THE DRAGON, 2012

01/23/2012 – 02/09/2013 (Water)

According to the Chinese Zodiac, the Year of 2012 is the Year of the Dragon.  The Dragon is a creature of myth and legend.  In ancient China, the celestial Dragon represents an emperor and  power. Today, it  is the ultimate auspicious symbol signifying success and happiness. The dragon usually clutches a pearl symbolic of its super-natural powers.  Invariably accompanied by thunder and rain, dragons move like lightning and whirlwinds – - all powerful yet totally unpredictable. May the celestial Dragon bring great good luck to everyone as the year of the Dragon will be marked by excitement, unpredictability, exhilaration and intensity.

“I have been inspired to create Dragon Robes with the energy of Dragons. It is the tenth year anniversary of Dragonfire Studio Gallery in Cannon Beach.”
