 |  | ABOUT
Kimberly Curry was raised in Southern Maine and attended Newbury College and Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston for interior design. She now resides in Portland, Maine. While driven toward artistic expression and appreciation all her life, she did not find her true creative voice until she coached a group of young artists in Romania while living there on a Peace Corps assignment. There, Kimberly witnessed first-hand what it really means to have a spiritual need for artistic expression, even over above-base survival, with only the barest of supplies on hand. Artists in Romania worked with recycled posters, shoe polish, and fingers when brushes weren’t available. Kimberly’s work within the Peace Corps was to help procure supplies and funding for these young artists, and to provide moral support for their callings and endeavors.
Kimberly is primarily an abstract and landscape artist who works with watercolor, collage, and encaustic paintings.
Kimberly currently serves on the Salt Board for Documentary Studies as she is passionate about documenting a good story.
She is the past-president of the board of SPIRAL Arts, Inc. and has taught intergenerational watercolor classes through SPIRAL Arts in Portland, Maine. Her work has been exhibited at numerous venues and she is regularly asked to be a judge for juried art shows in Southern Maine.
