MY CREATIVE PATH
I create oil and mixed-media paintings that blend natural textures, rich color, and layers of reflection and meaning. My work is inspired by nature, personal growth, and the beauty that appears when we slow down and truly see. I hope my art helps others feel grounded, inspired, and reminded of the light, love, and kindness that are always around us. My work is rooted in both the spiritual and physical worlds—exploring how color, light, and form can translate the language of the soul. Each piece begins as a quiet meditation, an intuitive conversation between imagination and divine energy.
THE JOURNEY
Catherine Zanghi is a visionary fine artist, designer, and author whose work bridges spirit and earth through oil and mixed-media painting.
Her creative path began as a graphic designer in 1980s New York, where she developed a lifelong love for composition, typography, photography, and storytelling through visuals. Over time, that design foundation evolved into a spiritual calling—one that now guides her fine art practice and her ongoing creation of the children’s book As I Am – The Chakra Journey Within.
After more than a decade in California, immersed in fine art, yoga, and spiritual study, Catherine now creates from her Florida studio, blending discipline, intuition, and natural elements into her work.
Dedicated to sustainable practice, she also offers eco-friendly paintings, prints and products featuring her artwork, inviting others to infuse their lives with calmness, balance, and joy—reminding us that art is not only seen, but felt.
As I Am: The Chakra Journey Within
As I Am – The Chakra Journey Within is my upcoming children’s book and fine art series that blends storytelling, energy awareness, and luminous oil paintings to help preteens connect with their emotional and spiritual selves.The messages within this book also resonate with adults, offering reminders of mindfulness, inner peace, and the beauty of reconnecting with one’s higher self.
Each chapter explores one of the seven chakras through story, character, and place — guiding readers toward balance, confidence, and self-love.
The project has been a decade in the making and combines her background in design, meditation, and mixed-media painting. Every page begins as a hand-painted original on canvas, infused with natural pigments, mica powders, crystals, and layered symbolism. With 28 paintings planned, this body of work is both a book and a visual journey — an unfolding of spirit through art.
