BIOGRAPHY
Corinne McIntyre was born
in Boston, Massachusetts.
She lives on the coast of
Maine at Ocean Point in East Boothbay. A plein-air painter, she is happiest
painting by the sea. When the weather prohibits she paints still life in
her studio. Comfortable with oil or watercolour, she finds that the two
disciplines help, infuence and complement each other.
Corinne originally studied
and painted in the classical manner; then for many years painted abstracts
and semi-abstracts of her trips to Greece, Italy, Spain and France where
she enjoyed the major museums of each country.
After working as a Technical
Illustrator at M.I.T., a Free Lance Illustrator, and a one-person art department
for a Computer Science Corporation, she became a Graphic Designer for a
Fortune 500 company. She then owned and ran her own successful Design business.
Since moving to Maine 18
years ago, she has come full-circle to focus full-time on her painting
and to plein-air painting in particular. Her subjects are mostly the coastal
landscape that she loves so dearly. She would like to convey to others
the beauty, joy, and contentment to be found in this unique, magical place...and
through her paintings evoke these feelings in others, even if for only
a moment.
For the past 14 years she
has owned and run her own gallery, Ocean Point Studio in East Boothbay.
The gallery is visited by people from all over the world.
