Glen Curtis
Hey Glen (Silas) here. Welcome to my Orble Art School and Meet Up Bio!

I have been an art student since as long as I can remember! I began drawing inspired by my favorite cartoons. I loved the meditative quality of drawing and the freedom to create whatever I wanted. I grew and grew and began to create more and more realism! Art is an expression of inner self and total freedom. It's very tranquil and peaceful.

I drew for many years and only began painting in high school and college simply because the classes required it. For some reason I didn't think I'd like painting, boy was I wrong.

In recent years my love for art and fashion have collided and I've become increasingly fascinated with clothing Alteration and design!

Come along on this journey with me in creative growth!
