Artist's Statement

Curtis Haynes plays with the element of surprise when creating his acrylic pieces.  He removes the protective film from the viewing side of the acrylic panel when the work is nearly or completely finished, letting the unveil of each piece serve as a new discovery.  Through this method, he imagines how the next color used affects the previous color, which details will push forward or blend into the background.

Curtis began his art education after his wife signed him up for an art class without asking him.
