Interested in art and photography since childhood, Curran earned a BA in Fashion Illustration from OU in 1980. For the past 7 years, she has built a reputation as a portrait photographer. Her fine art work has focused on black and white landscapes and still-lifes, the capturing of light being the underlying theme throughout her work. Recently she rediscovered her love of color with a series of beach scenes involving over-saturation of unlikely hues. Curran is an art instructor and commercial photographer, attending many workshops at the OFAI. She is past coordinator and current committee member of Sapulpa Arts.
