dedication

To every artist pursuing their dream

​

foreword

Out of the five human senses, it is the unique privilege of sight and accompanying visual stimulation that is the highest valued of all our gifted intelligences. In addition to its utilitarian necessity, this vision is where we turn in times of introspection, reflection, imagination, and is what encourages a plethora of emotions in our dreams. The gift of creation is truly divine, and those that choose to share their chosen craft with the mission of encouraging thought and contemplation are truly the connectors to our soul. Curtis Speer is undoubtedly one of those profound and powerful magic makers whose innate ability to inspire is nothing short of astonishing. We have the distinct pleasure of holding several pieces of Curtis’ work in our personal collection — and continue to admire the diversity and unique nature of his work across a multitude of subject matters. If you have not had the opportunity to experience the deep sentiments expressed through his mastery of light, darkness, texture, and color that accompany his self-discovered technique of life and mortality, you are definitely in for a delight of emotions. Curtis was schooled in the art of drawing which served as the artistic foundation leading to his chosen artistry in fine art photography. Rarely will you see him void of a camera or absent of the desire to explore his next recognition of beauty, found in the most unexpected and inane objects.
