​Curt was born in 1946 in Santa Paula, California. In 1949, he moved to Cedar Hill, New Mexico. His parents owned a general store and small farm. He began drawing as a youth and continued his interest in art during high school. In 1964, the family moved back to Santa Paula where they lived a few years before his parents returned to New Mexico. During his senior year at Santa Paula High School, he concentrated on his art and won awards in advanced oils and watercolors. In 2007, after retiring from a long and successful career in the financial sector of a major engineering and construction company, he returned to his art specializing in oil painting while taking advanced art classes at San Juan College in Farmington, New Mexico. He credits his art instructor, Professor William V. Hatch, for inspiring him to renew his interest in art. His first body of work that he calls the “Mountain Series” depicts dramatic landscapes found in the San Juan Mountains of Southwestern Colorado where he enjoyed hunting and fishing as a boy.  The results are beautiful scenic works of art that illustrate his unique style and skill with color and composition.  In addition to his main body of work, he has completed a series of small paintings that he calls “Floral Designs” and recently began a new series called “Canyonlands” featuring high desert scenes of the Southwest.  He also paints other scenes of interest, including dramatic and colorful skyscapes.  Curt and his wife Susan reside in Flora Vista, New Mexico.
