Curtis J. Gray was born and raised in a small community in south Alabama near the city of Mobile. He is number eight of eleven children. Curtis noticed at a very young age that his five older brothers could all sketch and draw. After high school, he focused on a career in engineering that spanned  over forty years, only dabbling in art occasionally.

After retirement and while working a part time job at a local hospital (Bay Medical), Curtis began sketching again. When a coworker noticed and subsequently introduced a method known as "Stippling" he became enamored and began a journey that continues to this day. Curtis’ process is both a meditation and a challenge - transforming countless ink dots into form and spirit. Every finished work is a journey from stillness to expression, hoping to capture the evolution of self and leaving a mark of passion, peace and joy.
