Artist: Alex Curtiss

Alex Curtiss is a local artist born and raised on Cape Cod. She also works as a full-time labor and delivery nurse at Cape Cod Hospital. Curtiss says her jobs as an artist and a nurse go hand in hand, as the creative side of her brain balances out the nonstop nurse side of her brain. “It’s always been my goal to bring a little life into the world, literally and figuratively!" says Curtiss.

Curtiss says her style of art is constantly changing. “I am steadily evolving and shifting, and therefore my art is, too.” She says she has never felt comfortable limiting herself to using only one medium: “I usually explore with oil, acrylic and watercolor paint, pen and ink, and lately, I’ve really loved creating my own designs to wear as apparel,” says Curtiss. “The many mediums of the art world are what keep it exciting for me, as each day brings something new to learn.”
