Curt Stanfield

Curt Stanfield, (b. 1962) from Rosedale, Indiana, paints in oils and has a distinctly unique style that uses thick applications of color and unexpected perspectives. His work is alaprima and tonalistic. 

Stanfield retired in 2017, and hadn’t painted in 30 years. While vacationing in Vieques, Puerto Rico in February of 2018, he painted a small 12x12 canvas to donate to a Humane Society Auction at the Siddhia Hutchinson Gallery. It was painted seaside on a borrowed canvas. The resounding reception of that small painting “lit a fuse that has grown into a burning passion inside me to paint full-time and has become the driving force in my retired life,” Stanfield says. 

Stanfield is a member of the Indiana Plein Air Painters Association (IPAPA) and has won many of the top Hoosier art awards. In the short time he has been painting full-time, he has received many prestigious invitational memberships and awards, something that takessome artists decades to accomplish. He is routinely accepted into all the major Indiana exhibitions and sells nationally.
