Cathy Begun's Bio:
Who knew that a small turquoise and gold ring would captivate the heart of an east coast girl and many years later still be inspired by that ring? Growing up in Pennsylvania, Cathy and her twin sister were always surrounded in a colorful and eclectic home, and that definitely had an impact on my future inspiration, unbeknownst to me at the time. 

After earning her AA degree fashion in college in New Jersey, the sunny turquoise skies of the desert southwest at the University of Arizona in Tucson was calling her name. Even though Arizona will always have a special place in her heart, Cathy and her husband, Barry, of 35 years, and 2 kids,  now call Centennial their home, still under the blue bird skies she craves.
