LAPORTE
VISUAL ARTIST
CREATIVE DIRECTOR & COACH
“Revolution begins from within.''
Certified Big Leap Coach by the Hendricks Institute, Cath Laporte uses creativity and humor to convey an open, holistic, and human perspective, infused with undeniable authenticity. If you're in need of inspiration, Cath has all the tools to awaken and stir you, no matter the field you work in. She loves challenging established structures. Spoiler alert: Cath believes that everyone is creative in their own way and that creativity is a crucial skill to stimulate and nurture.
Trained in graphic design at UQAM, Cath worked for nearly twenty years in design and advertising as an art director in Amsterdam, Paris, and Montreal. She now works as a creative director at Republik. Her projects, done for internationally renowned brands, have won numerous awards both in Canada and abroad.
Her work as an artist has been exhibited in the Netherlands, Canada, England, France, and Argentina. In 2013, she co-founded TRUST, a gallery-café in Amsterdam where customers are invited to follow their intuition and "feel" the price they want to pay. Returning to Quebec in 2016 after seven years in Amsterdam, she enjoys developing her projects both in Montreal and at her organic farm in Estrie, Granite Farm 1981, where she hosts artists-in-residence and groups for team-building. It is an incredible creative playground for her, where humanity and nature meet. Interactive workshops, visual art, creative direction, and organic farming now fill her agenda.
