Not So Scary After All: Tucson Artist Courtney Christie Helps Us See Nature Differently
Most of us shy away from bugs, snakes, and all things creepy crawly. But for Tucson artist and zookeeper Courtney Christie, these misunderstood creatures are a source of wonder, inspiration, and beauty. In this episode of Life Along the Streetcar, host Tom Heath sits down with Courtney to explore her unique journey. From studying criminal justice to caring for reptiles at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, she has transformed her love of wildlife into powerful and educational artwork.
Through vivid paintings, intricate stickers, and even giant bug murals, Courtney invites us to look closer and rethink what we fear. Her story is a celebration of the Sonoran Desert, the wild things that call it home, and the magic that happens when science and creativity meet.
Come for the art, stay for the stories, and maybe leave with a newfound appreciation for centipedes.
