My work, both art and writing, comes from my journey in the world, my sense of playfulness and my appreciation of nature and the mystery of life. It also comes from the dark nights; the losses and the lost times... forever striving to understand what it means to live.

I am available in the Oregon Willamette Valley or via internet to assist your writing or creative project; email me at cathy[at]cathymcguire[dot]com for more information.

2009: You can find my poems online at NewVerse News, The Smoking Poet,  and FutureCycle. My art is currently on display at Blackbird Antique Boutique, Philomath, OR.

Prints and Collage	Sculpture & Polymer Clay work
I enjoy mixed media and printmaking, and have a wide variety of images, some for sale.	I create assemblage, many in shrine or "wayside" format, from found objects or polymer, low-fire clay or wood. I also make translucent polymer votive holders.
Jewelry	Writing & Poetry
My work uses polymer clay, some have glass beads, some found objects. I'll keep rotating examples through this page.	I have been writing poetry since I was first introduced to it , sometime in 3rd grade. It has been a major thread in my life. I have published about 100 poems and  a chapbook. On this page, I'll share some of mine, and link to others that I admire.
