This expansive exhibition included sixty paintings filling three art gallery spaces. • The Jewellery and Art Gallery @ Carrington's at Noosa Junction in October 2011.
Group exhibitions Currie's paintings were shown at FireWorks gallery alongside paintings by Vincent Serico in August 2008. These exhibitions were viewed by
Quentin Bryce (then-
Governor of Queensland) that same month. Currie's work was again co-exhibited with paintings by the late Vincent Serico in Riverdays, held in April 2012 at Gympie Regional Gallery. The exhibition focused on the artists' stories of living by rivers in their early lives, and featured Currie's painted shield designs. These works were based on water forms from her home territory, Maranoa. == References ==
