Cat Gwynn’s critically acclaimed photo memoir, “10-Mile Radius: Reframing Life on the Path Through Cancer”, was released in the fall of 2017 by Rare Bird Books. She is currently at work on her next photo book project, “Cry For Me”, where she captures the raw power of authentic masculine emotion in intimate black and white portraits, giving the viewer an opportunity to witness these men in the genuine strength of their vulnerability.

Gathering the tools and techniques she discovered along her own healing path, Cat developed “10-Mile Radius: Creating a Personal Map for Wellness”, a powerful transformative recovery program which marries art-making into a daily mindfulness practice. She teaches the program at recovery and wellness rehabilitation centers, working with patients to co-facilitate a shift in their personal narrative.
