Curtis Griffin is a Fine Art Painter and Web Developer who recently made Bastrop, Texas, home after 15 years in Austin. Passionate about working across multiple mediums—oil, aerosol, and acrylic—Griffin thrives in the studio, brings murals to life in public spaces, and engages in live painting at local events, contributing to the vibrant art scenes in Austin, Bastrop, and Central Texas.
He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University, where he majored in Painting & Drawing, with minors in Art History and Glass Blowing. During his time there, Griffin had the privilege of studying under Stanley Whitney and studying abroad in Rome, Italy—experiences that deeply influenced his creative process.
Additionally, with over 20 years of experience in web design and development, Griffin specializes in semantic markup, SCSS/CSS3, JavaScript/jQuery, PHP, and web accessibility. Currently, he works as a Web Developer at MCPER, part of The University of Texas at Austin.
When he’s not painting or coding, you’ll find Griffin supporting the local art scene, producing music, riding his mountain bike, or tinkering around in the backyard.
