Student Accolades:
"I have
been fortunate to have taken classes from a huge
range of watercolor teachers, however
my repeat classes have consistently been with Cathe. She
has an amazing talent of bringing the very best out in
each student in her class, always in
a relaxed and fun atmosphere. Equal attention
is given to each student, and teachers just don't get
any better than this."
.........................................C. Vice - CA
" One of the best decisions I've
made was to sign up for the San Juan
Islands painting trip............there I met Cathe
Gill. Through her instruction and example, I became
a better watercolorist, and left
inspired to an extent I had not felt in my 25+ years of
painting. If you have not treated yourself to a workshop
with Cathe, you are missing something valuable and special."

"You are a truly gifted teacher and
a wonder to "give" as much as you do to students
from all corners of the globe, to
participate in public projects and other organizations...at
the same time working on your personal
artistic endeavors! Keep your great humour and enthusiasm.
They sparkle, just like your paintings."
.............................B.Blechman - OR
"I returned
home from your watercolor workshop aboard the Tahoma with
my
soul refreshed......Your calm, unflappable demeanor,
coupled with your happy, accepting
character, was wonderful to behold......And
on top of your being such a role model, you are a
superb teacher-- patient beyond any expectations-- and
I learned much! This is always important to me, but rarely
realized."
