Know that I absolutely love photography.  In order to buy my very first camera at 17 I worked at summer camp as a counselor and saved every penny.  I am also an artist and love portraiture.  Website.  http://www.currymendes.com 

More about me:

Curry Mendes was born in Beacon, New York and raised in Naples, Florida. While attending Naples, High School, by his senior year was mostly attending Advanced Placement Art Classes. Working mostly with watercolor and pencil he won multiple awards and scholarships. He is now a local Palm Springs resident.

Attempting to honor his father’s wishes and not going to College for Fine Art, he attended Ringling School of Art& Design with a Major in Interior Design and Minor in Photography. Curry was selected for “Best of Ringling – Rendering – 1989 . He became a top seller at the Ringling Art Fair two years in a row. Attending Ringling and having regret with his career path choice, he was told by a teacher at Ringling that school does not make someone an Artist and it is a talent that lies within, so just keep doing art all the time and you will have all you seek. (The best advice I have ever received in my life)

Curry is a storyteller, through portraiture whether that be though drawing or photography.  It is the people in our lives that make us truly wealthy. Without anyone to share a story there is no story to tell.
