Cat Whipple

I LOVE Adobe Photoshop! I think it's the best invention on the planet and I want everyone to try it at least once, because it can transform lives. Really!
So who is this Photoshop junkie? I am a artist, photographer and graphic designer. I have used Photoshop for over 20 years in my personal artwork and professional career as a graphic designer and photographer.
Being a Photoshop expert has helped me land a job at a big daily newspaper (The St. Paul Pioneer Press in Minnesota); helped me become a graphic designer; given me the skills to work as a freelance photo re-toucher; and given me the confidence to sell my artwork online (you can see my work on FineArtAmerica).
I have taught numerous real-life classes in Photoshop, photography, and art journaling. And now I am enjoy teaching Photoshop online where I can teach even more people.

By Genevieve Sesterhenn on 9/11/2020

This is even better than described. I'm already wanting to go look up Cat's other courses to see what else she's offering and I'm only on section 7 or 52. Enough said!

By Kathy Buchanan on 8/15/2020

This course was targeted to beginners of Photoshop. I almost didn't purchase it, thinking it would be to simple. I am so glad I decided to try it. I learned so much. The resources are a real value, the ideas are ones I've never thought of. At the conclusion of this course I realized not only can I create my own scrapbook papers, I could actually sell some of my creations. So much fun. Thank you.

This was a good course! I have a better understanding about designer paper. I am now making my own designs for my projects. Good job!

By Katrina R Everett on 4/12/2020

I am beyond words that would truly express the value of the content in this course. You explained and took your time making it so easy to understand. Everything!!!! You talked about had my undivided attention and it was such a honor to know you think so much of us to share such priceless information. This is a crafters dream course. All that different designer paper can be so expensive and most of the time you only get a few sheets and/or its probably not the exact color your looking for. Thank you so much for this course and the resources you gave... all I can say is You are the new true love of my life. Thank you so much.

Teacher is excellent. Course is paced just right. Easy to understand and follow along. Wish she had more tutorials on the nuts and bolts of creating digital papers and patterns.
