Realist painter Kamille Corry was born in 1966 in Houston, Texas. Her
art education took place primarily in Florence, Italy from 1987 to 1990
where she pursued etching studies at Il Bisonte and drawing and
painting at Studio Cecil-Graves. Corry also trained extensively with
painter D. Jeffrey Mims in Florence and North Carolina. She was later an assistant instructor to Mims at The Florence Academy's summer workshop.
Corry has exhibited throughout the South, including Washington, DC,
and at New York's Salmagundi Club. Numerous shows in her beloved Utah
have showcased her paintings. Awards include the prestigious Elizabeth
Greenshields Foundation Grant, the Director's Award for the Spring Salon
at the Springville Museum of Art in Utah and the Achievement Award for
the Florence Academy of Art Alumni Exhibition in San Francisco,
California.
Currently residing in Salt Lake City, Utah, Corry's work focuses on
the figure while incorporating visions of Utah's stunning landscape. Her
paintings reflect classical training and fine craftsmanship, rendering
the figure in a modern, provocative light. In 2002, Corry started a
small art academy in Salt Lake City for intensive studies in the
figurative arts.
