Are you an author wanting to self-publish?

Catherine’s creative expression gave life to our book,  Healing Mother Earth’s Sacred Sites with the Medicine Wheel. She caught the spirit of the Earth wisdom in Blue Thunder’s teachings and her layout and design brought it forth in print. Her illustrations enhanced the text along with photos and maps. She created the eBook in English then formatted translations in French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, German, and Japanese. Her attention to detail and co-creative approach made for a positive experience and superb final product.

How I work with you

We start with a free half-hour consultation in which we'll determine how best to meet your objectives in the most cost-effective manner. I will listen carefully as you describe your creative project and ask a few questions to determine the level of services you may require.

Some clients have a highly developed aesthetic sense and just need someone with the computer software skills to translate their visions and images into digital formats. Others come to me needing help with the various elements of their project. For instance, if you need help clarifying or refining what you want to say or how to present who you are and your product or service, we will work on that first.  I will use my writing and editing skills to help you work out the content and visual style that appeals to you.

If you know what you want and have a clearly defined visual idea for your project or service, we will jump right in. I will quote you a price for your graphic design needs. If we agree to proceed, I create 2 - 3 preliminary designs for your review. Then I refine the image/design you choose and offer two more revisions for your review.  After that, additional fees may apply for further revisions.

I look forward to collaborating with you on your creative project - however large or small. By applying my skills in Photoshop, In Design, and Illustrator together with my intuitive, empathic, creative approach, together we will birth your project, product, or service. It's time to bring your unique creative offering out and add it to the magnificent kaleidoscope of all life!

​​Please take a look at my site and give me a call for a free half-hour consultation. I'd love to talk with you about your book, business, service or creative project. ​​ No project is too small!

A special deal for local Mount Shasta artists,

writers, musicians, entrepreneurs!

Catherine has a unique way of bringing spiritual essence into her work.  It is grounded in the world but shows a deeper dimension to life than just the physical - it’s the oneness and beauty of life that is the gift of God in all living things.  Her art expresses some of this essence.  It is a blend of spirituality and earthiness. It’s the love in her heart.  She’s touched the spirit and the spirit touches her and it comes out through her art. It touches the archetypal realm.

...you are in flight,

I offer a sliding fee scale for locals:

Flyers.........................$22 - $44

You must have your copy, photos and/or drawings ready to go to take advantage of this special money saving deal. 

Sample flyers:

Cheryl came to me with her complete copy, background photos, photos she wanted included, and a request for a simple graphic of music notation.

I recently retained the services of Catherine Preus to design business cards and posters to help me in promoting some classes that I offer in the Mt. Shasta area, and I was delighted with the results.

I especially appreciated her attentiveness to detail, and her willingness to make any changes necessary for me to be completely satisfied with the results.

I would recommend her services to anyone wishing  high quality graphic design work.

It's easy and economical to upload your manuscript to KDP Amazon and/or Ingram Sparks - the primary Print on Demand companies most self-published authors use. I can help guide you through the process. If you are wanting a custom designed book, and need help with copy editing, book design or the cover, I can help with that too.
