Kelvin Curry was born in Oakland, California. His creative destiny was clear early in life. Initially, using black and white graphite as his medium, and later expanding into mixed media to bring about multi-dimension; as well as a sense of rhythm and grace in the abstract female figure. Curry studied fine arts at San Jose State University and has been making and exhibiting art all his life. Curry has a keen understanding of the arts, particularly the black arts movement in and around the Bay Area. He has exhibited his work in hundreds of juried festivals, exhibits and galleries throughout the country. Visitors from countries such as South Africa, Japan, Australia, France, the United Kingdom and China have chosen his work to adorn their homes in their native lands. Collectors include Randy Crawford, Nancy Wilson, Tom Skerritt and William Allen Young.
