About the Artist                                                                                      

Over a number of years, Sarah S. Curley has explored photography, including the hand-printing of images created by digital files, and the cyanotype-on-silk process of creating images by hand-coating individual pieces of silk fabric and producing abstract images on the silk.  However, in creating images, she has found that utilizing other media, such as water color, pastel, or colored pencil, are important in expressing, and learning from, an emotional response to life.  She has a completed project—Grief to Renewal:  A Trilogy, which may be accessed at https://www.sarahcurleyfineart.com.

Her current focus is to create a body of work that has a Victorian inspiration, but explores the deeper meaning of women to society: their fragility, yet their strength; their ability to break boundaries, yet their conformity; and their strength to lead, yet be ignored. The body of work will will employ cyanotype, collage, pastels, colored pencil, and other techniques.

She currently resides in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and is a juried member (alternative photography) of the Sonoran Arts League, Cave Creek, AZ; a charter member of Arizona Photography Alliance; a member of Art Intersection Gallery, Gilbert, AZ; a member of Medium Photo, San Diego, CA; and a photography member of Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA.
