Degrees in History of Art (Sorbonne) Political Science (Bordeaux) and Egyptology (Oxford) led Curry into an early career in publishing (La Revue de l~Art, Paris). Inspired by the material, line, volume and tension of the sculpture of Ancient Egypt there followed a second spell of studying under Rosemary Barnett, until recently head of the Frink School of Figurative Sculpture.
Curry then started to work on her own pieces and commissions and was quickly recognized as an accomplished portrait sculptor creating busts of Roy Jenkins, Michael Heseltine and John Major for the House of Commons collection of statesmen.
