I am a visual storyteller.
art and writing as healers + truth tellers
The power of art to inspire and connect us to one another are the foundational principles of my work.
Abstract art speaks a universal language which allows me to release personal and intimate portraiture. Each painting illustrates a story within me, fleeting or otherwise, a tale that begs to be unveiled and heard.
I invite you to observe yourself in my art, whether it be in a nervous glance back, the anxious twist of a foot, or in the riotous hues and spontaneous design of the non-representational.

from surviving to thriving
a how-to visual journal workbook for self-exploration, healing, and pure enjoyment
From Surviving to Thriving: A How-To Visual Journal Workbook for Self-Exploration, Healing and Pure Enjoyment is a self-development book with a creative twist.
In the early chapters of the book Kathi Moreta provides the reader with a variety of writing prompt style options followed by several suggestions for art techniques to combine your writing and art into a visual journal. She does this with irony, humor and honest memoir.
Throughout the book are accompanying samples of her art and writing meant to inspire the reader to make their own personalized visual journal pages, to record their own life experiences, and make tangible their own ideas, insights, torment, joy and all the feelings that come and go for all of us every day.
But honestly, what this book is really about is exercising choice as a means to self-empowerment and a profound understanding of yourself. Whether it is a choice of writing prompt, which art medium you employ, or the choice to read the book, but not make a visual journal, From Surviving to Thriving is meant to burgeon the ways you think about yourself. The visual journal is simply the catalyst.
Giclée prints of all the art featured in the book are available for purchase.
about kathi moreta
I am an artist and an author.
Deep breath, there. I said it out loud.
I am evidence of the power of creativity to heal.
I facilitate visual journal workshops where I demonstrate how to merge art and writing into emotional resuscitation.
I had a life and death experience that profoundly changed the way I view my relationship to the world.
I am curious.
I am an introvert with a tight circle of 4 intimate women friends.
I am becoming the true version of myself.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I only surrounded myself with people who believed in me,lifted me up and cared about me and to whom I reciprocated the same. I commit to living this way from this declaration forward.
