Darlene Curtis is an Arizona native. She has lived in other states throughout her life but has always come back to Arizona. As a child, she showed a creative side and mainly created fantasy art in pencil and pen/ink. It wasn't until she was older that she started creating in a variety of different mediums from color pencil, acrylics, ceramics, sculpture, mixed media, and street art. One of her favorite forms of art to create are Ooak (one of a kind) mixed media Art Dolls. Darlene loves the process of creating something from nothing and watching it come to life, no matter what medium she is creating in. She also enjoys teaching and helping students be creative in any medium that they choose. artofdmcurtis.blogspot.com
