m: 1 Dec 1917 in Okanogan Co, WA
When Avilda Curtis first stared painting forty years ago her materials were simple, left over watercolor paints from her children, lipstick, rouge and pencil.
Her main ambition was to paint a picture good enough to hang in her bedroom. Today the over fifty pastel paintings that hang in her home are a tribute to the skill she has achieved as a self-taught artist.
Avilda had been along time local resident. When she was ten her family moved to Brewster from Whidby Island. She later married Wes Curtis. Over the years they have lived in several North Central Washington communities. In the past seven years they have lived in Bridgeport near their daughter and her husband, Jack and Toots Wells. Their son, Gene, lives in Okanogan.
