Artist: Princess Cureton | Location: Mint Hill, NC
Mint Hill, NC
My paintings are metaphors reflecting the personal landscapes of my life, narrated by the figure in surreal background. I combine acrylic with relief sculpting on canvas to draw the viewer deep into the narrative and to add an element of illusion and surprise. The work is autobiographical, reflecting the consonance or dissonance of life.
A native of SC and a D.C. transplant, I graduated from Pratt Institute (NY) and Sacred Heart University (CT). In 2014, I traded my career as an art educator/director of programs and schools in NY, the VI and CT, to work full time in the studio. I was also a member and studio artist at The Loft Artists Association in Stamford CT (2012-2017) and a frequent artist-in-resident at the Fine Arts Work Center in Cape Cod, Mass.
While traveling throughout the Caribbean, Greece, China and Japan as an artist, teacher and student of other cultures, my eyes were opened by experiences that continue to fuel creativity in my studio in Mint Hill, NC today.
