WD Curry 111

William D. (Chip) Curry III has been recognized as an artist in residence for Brevard County, Florida. He has executed numerous grant projects (murals, sculpture and community training) in the area.
 
He was a rare English major at Annapolis before forsaking a naval career to study journalism at Coastal Carolina College. He then attended the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Fl. He established himself as a premier sign/graphic designer, woodcarver and muralist. He helped to usher in the era of sandblasted wooden signs through his successful entries in national and international design competitions. He was actively recruited by Harris Corporation to design and fabricate large displays for venues like Kennedy Space Center, Space Museum and Paris Air Show. He was honored several times for innovation and excellence in graphics and fabrication.
 
Curry was a muralist and vocational instructor for Devereux Viera, Fl. (adolescent treatment center) from 1990-2001 where he executed murals at various facilities, initiated an apprentice program and helped establish and develop curriculum for their “flagship” vocational department. He has been a contributing editor for Coastal Angler Magazine since 1998 where his off-beat articles have helped him establish a reputation as a staunch conservationist and backwater sage.

Presently, he is a freelance multi-media artist, writer and musician (harmonica and midi wind instrument). While he is extremely versatile, his art is focused mainly on paintings, prints and sculpture. He also works in digital, video/sound production and animation. He is a regularly published essayist and is working on his first novel, “Prices Always Go Up Near the End of the World” (copyright 2010).
