Kurtis Brand Art operates in the arts sector as a multidisciplinary studio led by Kurtis Brand. Based in Simsbury Center, Connecticut, the practice centers on creating work that combines art and music as a meditation practice, drawing on experiences from living in diverse locales to impart a sense of immediacy and depth. The artist engages with everyday materials—ranging from volcanic ash and corn masa to natural dyes and upcycled fabrics—to shape pieces that explore human connection and the oneness of all beings, with an emphasis on environmental, emotional, and intellectual considerations. The work targets audiences within contemporary art circles and collectors who value a contemplative, material-driven approach to expression, evidenced by exhibitions across multiple regions and an international collector base. Kurtis Brand Art reflects a background in painting and design from Ohio University and the Maryland Institute College of Art, and the practice positions itself within a global, conceptually oriented arts field with a focus on meditative practice and environmental empathy.
