works were considered brilliant, singular and raw. Curt enrolled in
photographic design at Baldwin-Wallace College where his professional

and salve his natural curiosity Curt began to independently study oil's,
watercolors and clay. Computer aided art and design quickly followed and
Curt explored the combination of traditional arts and technology. His
efforts led to scholarships at Savannah College of Art and Design where he
studied for two years.
Not content to be confined by the walls of academia, Curt began
contemplating the works and lives of the Masters leading to a brief stint in
Paris to observe their art first hand. Inspired Curt began to create in
earnest for personal and public consumption and committed to a life of
artistic endeavor. His concentrated efforts have produced a new level of
artistic achievement and growing following of admirers.
Curt has taken up residence in New Orleans where the vitality and
unique character of the city gives Curtis unequaled creative stimulation.
Curtis uses New Orleans as a muse as he creates new works and plies his
trade as a street artist. His lifestyle allows Curtis to remain close to the
roots of many of his inspirations while he continues to refine his art and
explore new methods for future works.
