Joetta Currie - Fine Artist
Member Since: 10/24/2008
Joetta Currie was born on a small farm in Kentucky. When she wasn't shelling peas or feeding the chickens, you could find her drawing pictures for the outhouse wall. It wasn't ideal gallery space, but it did provide a captive, even contemplative audience.
In the early years she worked as a narrative artist, telling a small story, revealing bits of personal information while entertaining with vivid color and the malleable composition of the female form. Joetta used humor as she would color, line or shape; to suggest, expose and define a dichotomy of ideas, prejudices and predilections.
The tumultuous 80's forced her to find happiness through her art. The bright color, humor and 'made up little stories', seemed a better world to live in at the time.
Currie's work and personal life has evolved. Surrounded by a calmer, more joyful world, she takes an introspective and more reflective view of herself and life's impressions. A subdued palette and a gentler sense of humor, reveal beautifully executed images of fleeting thoughts, memories, dreams and the organic nature of life.
