Halò agus fàilte!

My name is Corinne and I am a Scottish artist and illustrator. I live in Stirling with my partner and our pupper.

Art has always been a passion of mine. For as long as I can remember, I have loved nothing more than to create. Throughout my childhood I attended an after-school club where I was fortunate to have been able to try nearly every kind of art possible – from painting and drawing to clay modelling and candle making and even big collages out of beach finds!

My Nanna bought me my first acrylic painting set when I was young (I can’t remember what age) and the picture here was the result – even though the shadows are all wrong and it lacks any skill, it serves as a reminder to create for the love of it and that I’m always improving no matter how little I see it.

Today, I focus mainly on nature as a source of inspiration but mental health has also been an important theme over the last few years. I create using a range of different mediums and styles and I love learning new skills and techniques. Most of my portfolio consists of acrylic paintings, watercolour paintings and ink drawings. Recently I’ve been exploring gouache painting with a project to fill a sketchbook with landscapes. I currently stock with Made in Stirling, and Scottish Design Exchange (Edinburgh and Glasgow), both of which have been huge in helping me develop my confidence and career as an artist and illustrator.

This is my dog, Buddy. He's always so happy and seeing him bouncing through the woods or bounding across the beach brings me so much joy. He was a rescue dog and he's been with us since December 2017; we were told he had behavioural issues although you wouldn't think it now if you saw him curling up in my lap for a cuddle.

Besides art, there is nothing I love more than getting outdoors and exploring nature and the Scottish landscape. I adore mountains, hiking and backpacking too. The Scottish landscape serves as my main source of inspiration for art. There is nothing better than the quiet of a lonely mountain-side where all you can hear is wild animals and the wind whistling through the trees below. I’m currently trying to do more to learn about our native plants and wildlife, a knowledge which is sadly dying. I am also learning Gàidhlig as well as more about Scotland’s rich history and heritage. All of which I hope to incorporate into my art in the future.

I want to thank anyone and everyone who has supported me in any way - whether that’s buying my work, commissioning unique pieces, offering advice or just appreciating what I create. You are truly magical for supporting a small Scottish artist, or, as I like to say, a young woman with a dream. 

While I sell prints of my favourite artworks, I also do commissions so please do get in touch if you have an idea for a commissioned piece! Email me at ccorinnef@gmail.com or just click the ‘Get in touch’ button below!
