‘Beauty and its opposites’

 “Onward” (paper, thread, encaustic paint, oil stick on braced panel), by Portland, Maine-based artist Kimberly Curry.

From her artist statement:

“Using my home state of Maine as muse, as well as my travels around the world, I am inspired by the beauty in ordinary things.

“I have a style that ranges from structured seascapes of Maine that capture a point in time to following a concept in a loose abstract way. Among other things, I explore beauty and its opposites.’’

She has an expressive sense of humor and playfulness that sometimes will emerge in the work as well.
