Yeah, Catalyst Arts Collaborative is growing, and I’m honored to be the July 2025 Featured Artist!
My Work in the Cat Gift Shop
Some of my work is in the windows and front of the Cat’s gift shop, including cards, where you can peruse handmade art and local creativity.
I have woodblock prints like “Gather Together”, carved paintings like “Love Melts Fear”, and a bin of frameable prints…
Some framed prints and the painting, “Joy When You Trust” that an admirer thought was a cross between Matisse’s cutouts and Kandinksy’s wild palette!
And of course, some Gretty Beth Art’s handmade cards with some new offers!
The Cat has a generous offerings of all kinds of art classes, and I love teaching Woodblock Printmaking classes! My next class is coming up on October 18, 2025.
Here are some shots of a class I very recently held! We always have a blast!

Here are the opening lines of an article written recently by the very talented Jonah Shallies about me and my art after coming to my studio and interviewing me:
“Some callings don’t arrive with thunder. They rise like morning light through trees. For Boise artist Gretchen Weitemier, the call to art was quiet, steady, and sacred.”
Come Check out the Cat
Making art for my church gives me a wonderful focus, and teaching art, with whomever and wherever it takes me, brings me delight.
Come check out the Cat, located at 6427 W Ustick Rd Boise, ID 83704.
It is truly a gem in the Treasure Valley and supports the creativity needs of our growing community. Again, in case you missed it, I’m teaching a beginning Woodblock Printmaking class on October 18, 10 am – 2:30 pm. If you’re interested, you can read more and sign up here.
And sign up for my newsletters if you haven’t already, to keep up on my artistic life as well as our communities!
Thank you for supporting the arts!
