Curt is a graphic designer and illustrator graduating this May with a BFA in Graphic Design from SUNY New Paltz and received his associate degree from Monroe Community College in Rochester, NY. He has had a passion for visual arts for as long as he can remember, often being captivated by the various animated shows and movies that dominated his childhood. Curt makes commissioned artwork via his popular Instagram Page, @dreamr.art, and creates personal work that reflects his underrepresented youth and Black identity. He hopes that kids and teens in the future can grow up without feeling like they never had any character that truly "felt" like themselves.
