Realist painter Kamille Corry studied at Il Bisonte and Studio Cecil Graves in Florence, Italy. She also studied extensively with 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. Her work has been exhibited alongside Ben Long and D. Jeffrey Mims. Her 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.
In 2009, Corry was invited by The Classical Design Foundation to paint the gardens and fields of James Boyd's Weymouth estate in Southern Pines, North Carolina. This painting is a result of that residency.
Corry now lives in Salt Lake City, Utah. 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.
Good estate condition.
