Is a nationally recognized oil painter known for his dynamic use of impasto and vivid, emotionally charged color palettes. With formal training from the Columbus College of Art & Design and the American Academy of Art in Chicago, Currier’s foundation in classical technique is evident in the mastery of his craft. Early in his career, he taught figure painting at respected institutions and led plein air workshops across the United States and Europe, earning a reputation as both a skilled educator and practicing artist.

Alfred’s paintings have been exhibited extensively across the U.S. and abroad, gracing the walls of museums, fine art galleries, and private collections. His work—equally admired for its technical precision and emotional resonance—has earned him national acclaim and has been featured in books, magazines, and gallery retrospectives. Whether working from life or imagination, Alfred Currier continues to elevate the visual dialogue of contemporary American painting with a distinctly Northwestern voice.

Since relocating to Anacortes, Washington in 1991, Currier has become deeply rooted in the culture and visual language of the Pacific Northwest. The region’s sweeping landscapes, especially the Skagit Valley’s tulip fields and the migrant workers who labor in them, are frequent subjects in his paintings. Through bold impasto strokes and atmospheric plein air scenes, he captures the unique blend of human resilience and natural beauty that defines the area.
