For local artist Krissy Teegerstrom, art has always been a matter of intuition.
A UT graduate and self-taught creator, Teegerstrom has been honing her unique style since she was a child.
Teegerstrom said her art comes to her in recurring “visions” that she follows — using secondhand materials — until the product matches the idea in her head. Her work has been featured at Urban Outfitters, she’s designed for Phoebe Bridgers, and painted a mural for the legendary Continental Club.
Her most recent collection, “Suit Yourself,” is heavily textile-based + made up of one-of-a-kind capes and sequined “paintings” with cheeky sayings like “You Were Wrong About Me.”
“Each cape represents a fragment of myself that I reclaimed through therapy,” Teegerstrom said.
You can peruse her current collection on Yard Dog Art Gallery’s website, where it was shown late last year. (City Editor Figi here — my favorite is the Trueheart Cape.)
