Curtis Dow Baldwin

Curtis D. Dow Baldwin is a blues-rock musician, poet, and visual artist whose work bridges sound, color, and emotion. His paintings are created through intuition and movement — often using his hands instead of brushes — to capture the pulse of what can’t be spoken. Each piece is a reflection of rhythm felt in the body, not read on a page.
Based in Iowa, Curtis transforms lived experience into texture and tone, exploring both the beauty and the ache of being human. His ongoing collection Feel the Way (FTW) invites viewers to sense art the way he creates it — directly, without hesitation, in full color
