Steven Curry began his professional art career as a graphic designer in Los Angeles. He later owned and operated the Curry Design Agency, creating designs for prestigious clients like Sony Pictures and the Academy Awards. Several of Curry’s design projects were selected to be archived in the collections of the United States' Library of Congress. After more than 15 years of commercial success, Steven retired his design agency in order to pursue his fine art passion full time, choosing the Ojai Valley of California as home and inspiration.
