MEET KAT KIRBY

I grew up in New Jersey, in a family that valued art and music, and learned from an early age that creativity and self-expression are keys to a fulfilling life.

After living in many places and holding various positions involving creativity and therapeutic arts, I finally settled in Prescott, Arizona.

My wonderful light-filled studio overlooks an expanse of high desert scenery, where I offer workshops in collage, art journals, upcycled books, mixed media collage, and more. And I love leading creativity retreats in beautiful locations such as Portugal, France, the Caribbean, and Taos.

Do you need a Creativity Coach? I work with visual artists, craftspeople, writers, musicians, and anyone with a creative idea who needs help getting un-stuck or finding the way forward. I enjoy using my background in the expressive arts in a new way and witness people realizing their dreams..

I am a retired Board Certified, Registered Art Therapist (ATR-BC) and spent over 40 years using the arts to help people find their visual, creative voices. I taught and mentored students in the Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology program at Prescott College, and currently offer creative workshops through Yavapai College’s Community Education program. As a SoulCollage® Facilitator, I lead workshops in this wonderful collage technique, which adds to my belief that art has amazing healing powers.
