The exhibition is based on metaphors that reflect the very personal and spiritual landscape of the artist’s experiences and is narrated through the figure in surreal background. Her technique of combining acrylic mixed media painting and relief sculpting on the canvas adds an element of surprise, designed to draw the viewer deeper into the artist’s narrative. Cureton uses a variety of processes to coax the figure away from the surface of the canvas, embedding glass, beads, fabric, plastic, sand and material indigenous to the environment in which she is creating. Her work is an autobiography reflecting the consonance and dissonance in life which she shares openly and honestly in resonance with the viewer.


A native of Washington D.C., Cureton was an art teacher and Coordinator in the US Virgin Islands for 17 years and recently retired from the Greenwich public schools as an elementary art teacher in 2014. Besides the technical and critical experience gained in her long teaching career, traveling through the Caribbean, Greece, Cyprus, Venezuela, Mexico, China and Japan as a student of other cultures, opened her to experiences that continue to fuel and influence her creativity.
