Stories, poetry, music and found objects trigger ideas for Kattenbraker's mixed media sculptures. Clay--that lovely smooshy & impressionable stuff is the favorite primary medium. Bright colored glazes over oxides provide an aged quality for animals or make-believe creatures or characters.

Working as a self-taught artist and art instructor for children (10 years in the Chicago area), Dreama appreciates the playful influence all those children had on her creative process: expect mistakes and learn to transform them, be silly, try again, never give up.

Dreama's work can be seen at Cheshire Gallery, Roanoke,VA.
