About me

Occupation artist
Location Kill Devil Hills, NC
Introduction I've been having a love affair with nature for over 30 years with sketches and paintings to prove it. By working directly with my subject I form an emotional bond, eager to have a conversation and learn its secrets before I even pick up a pencil or brush. If I'm lucky, I'll discover its underwear of cuts, scars and bruises making it all the more inspiring. Using all my senses I try to express things like the feeling of green on a spring morning, the evocative fragrance of honeysuckle, dancing wind across the top of pond water and birdsong weaving through the grasses along a creek. My paper becomes infused with the location from using the local water, applying a smudge of soil to the paper, a rubbing of a leaf and the very air itself merging with the paint. These are my love letters from nature. All essays and artwork are protected by copyright and may not be used or reproduced in any way. ofcorsa3@gmail.com etsy.com/shop/EMCorsaPagesPast
