Karen Curry is a visual artist working primarily in the mediums of painting and photography. Having spent the last 20 years as a Toronto based artist she now lives on Gabriola Island. Born in Yellowknife, the quality of light and the vastness of the north have left an indelible mark on her work. Karen Curry has exhibited widely in both solo and group shows nationally and internationally. Her work is held in numerous public, corporate and private collections. |
