KATHLEEN CURRAN
Kathleen Curran is a portrait and commercial photographer, with a B.A. in Fashion Illustration from the University of Oklahoma. She specializes in senior and family portraits, as well as, fine art, black and white landscapes, still-lifes and stylized portraits, involving dramatic use of light. “I am continually inspired by nature and people, and how best to capture them. I love the challenge of showing a different perspective in my work.” She recently rediscovered her love of color with a series of beach scenes involving over-saturation of unlikely hues.
Mostly self-taught, Curran has been interested in art and photography since childhood. Her passion became reality with the creation of Kathleen Curran Photography in 2001.

Times, Jeff Brouws, Vernacular Photographer, and book agent, Wendy Burton. She recently studied under Michael O’Brien, published photographer of “The Faces of Texas”, at the Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute.
