Bio:

KurtisEdwardsHeatshotSmall.jpg

Kurtis Edwards, a Michigan-based digital painter creating 2D impressionistic works that blend nostalgia, whimsy, quiet introspection and a nod to history. He explores solitude, connection and the emotional spaces in between. Trees show up everywhere in his work, drawn from his big garden, along with the animals that visit it. The Great Lakes run through his work too, in their rugged shorelines, shifting light and the quiet pull of open water, he hopes future generations will still know. He paints in Rebelle and print his work on an Epson large-format printer, using archival paper or stretched canvas.

"The Great Lakes inspire my art because they’re part of the places I love, like Detroit, Grand Haven, and Lake Huron. I paint them in every season, from the shore, on the water, and underneath where lilies, trout, and turtles live. I want my art to show how much life the lakes and their rivers support, and why it’s worth protecting."
