Studio twozerotwo - Catherine Hysell Artist Reception

Catherine Hysell is the featured guest artist for November and December at Studio TwoZeroTwo located at 202 E. Main Street in Walla Walla. The opening reception will be Thursday November 6th from 5-7pm.

Czechoslovakian leaves, sea jasper, carnelian, blood stone are just some of the myriad of glass and semi-precious stones that Catherine uses in her jewelry which she sells in stores and galleries throughout the country. Through the use of imaginative color combinations, innovative wire wrap, and beautiful materials, Catherine’s designs are able to retain the artist’s individual look and stand out in a sea of competition. 

Her line includes her signature crocheted ropes, clusters, lariats, and chokers made of thousands of Japanese or Czech glass beads that bear an aesthetic resemblance to an exotic serpentine mosaic. Crocheted bracelets and earrings are also part of her repertoire. Her style hints of past travels to India, China, and Saudi Arabia (where she lived for a time).

There’s a sort of ethnicity to her line that is exotic but not aggressively so, one more facet that adds to the individual stamp of the designer.
