In her fantastical, figurative paintings Aine Corr combines medieval and contemporary references, mixing modern legend with local folklore.
Some of her work is autobiographical exploring family heritage, identity and a sense of place. She is heavily influenced both by her Irish ancestry and her Herts/Essex home. Aine has a magpie eye, collecting visual delights, oddities and wonders from historical sources, the animal kingdom, ecclesiastical art, mythology, decorative pattern, nature and landscape.
Aine studied Fine Art Painting at Brighton University. After graduation she completed a PGCE to teach Art and Design. Aine is trained in traditional upholstery techniques and applies fine art concepts to textiles, chairs and domestic settings.
She has exhibited her work in the South East, with commissions travelling to far flung locations such as Australia and Sweden.
