Steve Curry Upward

Christopher Queen Galleries welcomes Steve Curry to the gallery and is proud to represent his work. Steve’s paints capture the coastal cypress trees, the glorious colors of the sunset, and the shadow and light of the California landscape. He uses vintage frames from the tonal era as well as making his own frames depicting an earlier time. Steve’s paintings work seamlessly into the works by other award winning artists represented by Christopher Queen Gallerie.
