About Huib Petersen

Huib Petersen uses different sizes of beads and a variety of traditional beadwork stitches to create sculpted bugs, butterflies, birds, flowers and sea creatures in their environment. The result is a unique kind of wearable art that offers the intricacy of embroidery and lace, the depth of a theatre set and the durability and brilliance of glass. Having work full time as a bead artist and teacher since 1998, Huib still feels “challenged and inspired by the possibilities of this medium.”
