"What do you do for recreation?"

"Oh, the usual. I bowl. Drive around. The occasional acid flashback."

Following last weeks Lebowski festivities, Dudestock 2013, we have something special planned to keep all of you 'Achievers' happy. Join the Lincoln Theatre at Riverside Lanes for an evening of bowling, costumes, prizes, white russians, beer, food and the occasional acid flashback!

One of the works of Anacortes artist Alfred Currier will be on display for the month of March 2013 in the Lincoln Theatre Art Bar, surrounded by poetry from local students of Ms Katrina Johnston of the Skagit Academy, a home schooling center of the Mount Vernon School District. The theme of both the painting and the writing will be Human Rights on both a local and universal scale.  The exhibit at the Lincoln is in honor of the tenth Skagit Human Rights Festival.

I found my way to painting after many years of appreciating the work of other artists.
The paintings in this show were inspired by images from Bhutan where I volunteered as a pediatric physical therapist for six months in 2005. During a later visit in 2012, I had the privilege of meeting Queen Jetsun Pema Wangchuck who opened an art show featuring these paintings as a fundraiser for Ability Bhutan Society, a non-profit organization for handicapped children. I am now honored that five of these paintings are on display in the palace of the King and Queen of Bhutan.

My art's primary focus is on the natural beauty, abstract patterns and inherent rhythms of the landscape.  I choose to work in various water media either singly or in various combinations.  The Pacific Northwest Landscape is an endless inspiration for me.  I enamored with the deep forests and magnificent alpine slopes as well as swampy wetlands and coastal marshes. My art continues to move towards an increased focus on design and color to relay my personal interaction with the beauty of this earth and my desire to honor and protect it.
