Stan Kurth
Artist and workshop instructor Stan Kurth has drawn and painted for most of his life. An aunt, an artist and art instructor herself, became a significant influence even before he started school. He received a bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona University in 1971. Stan lives with the conviction of “fear not,” and that same attitude permeates not just his life but also his art. His focus and dedication to his work have earned him signature member status in several watercolor societies, including the National Watercolor Society - Master, Western Federation of Watercolor Societies - Master, San Diego Watercolor Society, Arizona Watercolor Association, and Contemporary Watercolorists of Arizona. He currently lives in Peoria, Arizona. “I think everyone is an artist when they’re young. You learn to walk, you learn to talk, you learn to draw. It stuck with me. My aunt gave me a small canvas and some oil paints when I was four years old, and I painted my first oil painting in her studio. I’ve been painting and drawing ever since."
