Bio
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 and 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, Kathleen has been interested in photography since childhood and started her own business in 2001.
Curran has studied under nationally known photographers, Michael Wilson, known for his CD cover work, Mark Edward Harris, a photojournalist for the LA Times, Jeff Brouws, vernacular photographer and book agent, Wendy Burton. She studied with Michael O’Brien, published photographer of “The Faces of Texas”, at the Oklahoma Fall Arts Institute.
Curran’s photographs have been seen on the cover of Route 66 Magazine’s 2002 fall issue, in Sapulpa’s Community Profile, as well as in local galleries, and private collections. Curran is a past chairwoman of Sapulpa Arts, a local organization dedicated to bringing the Arts to the community. In her spare time she is interested in reading, yoga, golfing, knitting, gardening and painting. She has lived in Sapulpa for the past 22 years with her husband and three children.
