Texas is a diverse place-- we've got doctors and artists, Austin hippies and Amarillo ranchers. Meet a creative sculptor who's bridging gaps by offering his eclectic expertise to the medical field.
Dwight Putnam used to create stationary pieces for high-paying clients, living commission to commission. Today, he artfully designs prosthetic limbs for children. His heartfelt, original designs of pediatric prosthetics has just as much soul as the patients who wear them... lifelong patients who have become more like family to this funky free-spirit wearing scrubs.
This isn't your typical tale of a highbrow artist... Dwight designs functional pieces with impact far beyond a studio.
