Curtis Parker lives and paints in Tempe, Arizona.
He attended Arizona State University and there
studied graphic design, painting and drawing.
After eight years as a graphic designer, he
began illustrating full time and now divides his
time between illustration and fine art. He paints
with acrylic on gessoed canvas or wood. His
paintings have been used as posters, book
covers, for magazine articles, advertising, and
recently, a children’s book. He has worked for
such clients as the Smithsonian, Random House,
Harcourt Brace, Time, LA Times, and Barnes &
Noble.
Many of his images have received awards from
Society of Illustrators, American Illustration and
Communication Arts.
Curtis likes to hike the upper Grand Canyon
and every year spends a week exploring the
magnificent hidden places of Lake Powell. He
and his wife Marcia have three children and
a dog.
