Creature Creator

Comments (0) By Claire Lawton Thursday, Aug 2 2012

Local artist Christy Puetz deals in beads. Her delicate and painstakingly detailed creatures come from a variety of backgrounds and stories. In 2011, she created a collection of “shapeshifting” creatures at Modified Arts and in 2009, she showcased a series of birds with beaded patterns inspired by the microscopic appearances of disease organisms. Each work is born primarily of glass seed bead work and peyote stitches, and together they share a storyline created in the artist’s mind.
