Q: Let’s start from the beginning! As a young girl, what is one of the first things you remember wanting to be?
A: A business person.
A: Most definitely
A: Absolutely, they have inspired me- shown me that I too have natural talent and can be successful using it.
A: I have believed for a very long time that “the gift of creativity” is the best gift God, the master creator, can give you. Creative time is sometimes planned and sometimes impromptu as an idea comes to mind. Getting into the creative zone is a matter of having all the materials needed and an idea.
A: The wire sculptures came about while sourcing for another creative idea. I saw the wire, bought it, and immediately went home and began playing with it.
I am also working on abstract plaster sculptures, a small clothing collection, and some other ideas.
A: Do it! Do not let others tell you why you should not go for it.
A: Seeing many small brands bring their product to market and sometimes with less talent was a motivator.
A: Jennifer Balcos Gallery in Atlanta (@jenniferbalcos_gallery). Jennifer has been a collector and supporter for many years. Yes, I’ve been commissioned by a few interior designers for sculptures to add to their projects.
Beautiful and unique piece:)
A beautiful sculpture. I am so intrigued by Katrena’s expansive approach. Showroom, artist designer! It’s a great combination.
Great interview! Katrena has such a broad range of interests and talents!
