Jim Curran sa pohybuje na britskej horolezeckej scéne už viac ako štyridsať rokov. Počas tejto doby sa kreatívne vyjadroval prostredníctvom širokej škály diel. Ako kameraman natočil 15 horských dokumentárnych filmov, od Everestu po odľahlé škótske ostrovy St Kilda a Hoy, cez Andy, Kavkaz a pohorie Atlas. Je tiež oceneným autorom biografií a nedávno sa vrátil k svojej rannej vášni – maľbe, ktorá je jeho zvoleným prostriedkom vyjadrenia.
