Curtis Epperson is a contemporary word mosaic artist based in Orlando, Florida, whose work transforms language into intricate visual art.

Rather than creating with paint or traditional illustration, Curtis creates images entirely from hand-drawn words and phrases. Every word within a piece relates directly to its subject—describing its characteristics, history, culture, or interesting facts.

Viewed from a distance, the words come together to form a recognizable image. Up close, the artwork becomes something entirely different: part word search, part puzzle, and part educational experience, inviting viewers to explore the piece and discover details they may have missed at first glance.

No word is ever repeated within a piece, and every letter is carefully drawn and positioned to become part of the larger image. The result is artwork designed not only to be seen, but to be read, explored, and discovered.

Curtis describes his work as “Intellectual Art for the Puzzled Mind”—art that rewards a second look, sparks curiosity, and becomes a natural conversation piece wherever it is displayed.

From his studio in Orlando, Curtis continues to explore new subjects and expand his collection of word mosaic art.
