The colorful world of Walt Curlee is rich in character, charm, and extraordinary detail. Fun, lighthearted energy is brought to life by his unique sense of perspective and his earthy, organic shapes. - Informed Collector
My art is my passion. The challenging aspect of painting is taking a familiar scene and creating my own personal vision of it. When I start a painting, I am in my own little world and tend to get lost in it. I have a sense of awe in everything around me, finding it absolutely enchanting and I strive to show it in my work.
Life is good and I try to enjoy it to the fullest!
I have been a freelance illustrator for 25 years and have worked for a who's who of corporate America including Berol Pencils, Blockbuster Videos, Cirrus Logic, Clark American, Coors, Diamond Shamrock, Duracell, Frito-Lay, GameTek, H. E. B. Brand Grocery Co., Kellogg, Lucasarts, Mattel, MCI, Procter & Gamble, Orkin, Sega Genesis, and Thermos/Warner Brothers.
Born into a military family, I am the oldest of five boys. I started drawing at an early age. Due to my obsession with doodling, I had a tendency to neglect my school work. After 4 years in the Marine Corps, I acquired my art education at the Art Institute's of Fort Lauderdale and Atlanta. I work from my home studio and enjoy living the country life in rural Alabama, with my wife Vicki. My family consists of my two sons, Rusty and Andrew and my two stepsons, Eric and Tim (US Army). I enjoy fishing, hiking, and playing horseshoes.
I've sold work in galleries over the years, but I am currently choosing to represent myself by selling my work exclusively. The Internet allows me to offer quality works to a wonderful worldwide clientele without the costs of gallery commissions or framing. The result is a direct-from-the-artist product that is available for auction, other online venues, my personal website, or through the dozen or so juried shows that I am accepted to show at each year. My art is my livelihood and by purchasing my original paintings, illustrations and prints you help put food on the table for my family (two sons at home, 10 cats, 10 turkeys, 1 rooster, 2 cockatiels, 2 sun conures, 1 green-Cheeked Conure, 1 hedgehog, my wife and me).
