After over a decade of marketing, publicity, and social media ghost writing, Curtis decided to unplug and search for more creatively fulfilling opportunities. Collage The World was born in March 2017 after an inspiring trip to Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood. Curtis creates handmade collage that frequently incorporates images of nature and wildlife. In the fall of 2018 Curtis relocated to Mexico City for seven months. He now lives in Denver, CO.
