A few years ago,Corinne decided to take part in a local figure
drawing open studio, and soon after began working in many
different mediums. "I went on my first plein air trip in October
that year. I hadn't put brush to canvas since my parents sent me
to painting lessons as a grade-schooler."

She has been steadily working, alternating from oils to pastels to acrylics, and with

Most recently, Corinne has been involved in creating works in encaustic, a
beeswax and oil pigment medium which has its roots in the art of Ancient Greece.
She was inspired by the abstract encaustic works of another local artist and
began participating in informal workshops on encaustic art. "It can be a very
unforgiving medium at times, but it's such a departure for me and I really enjoy
the challenge."
