Meet the Artist: Catherine M. Elliott
Simsbury’s own contemporary impressionist painter is joining The Lucky Gut for two winter workshops, and her Q&A offers a beautiful look into how she thinks about light, creativity, and the experience of making art.

These reflections capture the heart of her approach and the welcoming, thoughtful energy she brings to artists at every level. Tap through to read her words in full.

Catherine will be leading two upcoming workshops:
• The Art of Light — 12/11, 6:00–7:30 PM
An intimate evening workshop for adults.

• Winter Sparkle — 12/13, 2:00–4:00 PM
A joyful, hands-on creative session for children ages 5–10.

You asked us to bring this back and we listened!

For anyone overwhelmed by weekly dinners, this workshop completely changes the game.

You’ll get two hours of expert support from Registered Dietitian Lisa Cooperman, MS, RDN, prepare four family-size nutritious meals for your freezer, and learn how to simplify dinner for good.

No more decision fatigue.
No more scrambling at 5pm.
Just healthy, ready to go meals your whole family will love.

If you want better energy without overhauling your entire diet, start with protein.

In this hands-on workshop, Nutrition Coach Rebecca Bravakis, NASM, will show you how to structure meals for all day energy, understand the macro basics most people skip, and make simple protein upgrades that deliver REAL results.

You will build a yogurt parfait in class and take a second one home.
