Your Instructor

Hi I'm Corinne! I'm a Boston-based high school teacher and calligrapher. Bringing me endless joy are my family, my dog, nature and creativity.  My most influential art teacher- my grandfather, introduced me to calligraphy and drawing while we worked on art together for hours when I was young. That mindful process always holds a place in my heart. I didn't think I could progress in this art but with perseverance and endurance, It all came together. The beautiful thing about art is that it shows up as messy and chaotic but with practice, elegance flows across the page like many things in life. I still show up messy at times! We grow through this process. Some of my other interests are improv, running, coaching special olympics, camping and traveling. Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
