“The three solo exhibits we hosted for Melinda Harr Curley were some of
the highest attended and most successful shows we conducted in our forty-
year history. Her fluid and dynamic abstract paintings, combined with her
insightful poetry written for each piece, engaged clients in a meaningful
experience of art that both intrigued and held their interest.”
