| Corinne Collymore Peters |
| Artist |
| Corinne Collymore Peters is an artist working in the medium of oil paints. She paints in a contemporary style, a style which she describes as abstract realism. It is the logical outcome of what happens when a New York abstract artist, absorbs the culture and images of the heart of the Renaissance, Florence, Italy. |
| |
| The technical aspect of her art education started at St. John's University, in New York, culminating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She furthered her formal studies of art, with a two year Master of Fine Arts program of study in Florence, Italy at the Villa Schifanoia, Graduate School of Fine Arts. That was the easy part. Developing a voice and a reason for creating new works of art, that speaks and engages the observer, took more that 25 years to formulate. Her paintings revive the art of telling stories. They tell stories from a woman's perspective. The images initiate intimate perspectives and relationships, that blur the boundaries inside and outside of the canvas. At the same time, her work challenges the reexamination of traditional images with new interpretation and relevance, while the use of color and light creates a brilliance that stimulates and holds the eye. |

| Corinne Collymore Peters has exhibited her work in several one-woman and group shows, in New York, New Jersey, Florence, and Paris, as well as earning various awards for her work. |
