The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

Cathy Francois is a passionate, certified art therapist who specializes in using painting as a powerful tool for emotional healing, spiritual growth, and creative expression. With a heart rooted in Christ, Cathy blends the transformative power of art with the redeeming message of the gospel, guiding others to connect with God through the strokes of a brush.   

Artful Empowerment helps individuals—especially those affected by incarceration, trauma, or difficult life transitions—experience emotional and spiritual healing through creativity.

• Releases emotional pain by using art as a safe outlet for grief, anxiety, fear, and anger
   
• Restores identity by guiding participants to see themselves as whole, worthy, and made in God’s image
   
• Rebuilds connection with God by encouraging faith-based reflection and worship through art
   
• Strengthens mental health for those who struggle to express emotions verbally
   
• Supports reentry and recovery by promoting peace, focus, and personal growth
   
• Creates community by fostering support, testimony, and shared healing through group sessions
   

Cathy’s Christ-centered sessions go beyond art—they offer freedom, transformation, and renewal through every brushstroke.
