Corinne has
been stitching since she was a young girl. Her mother and grandmother were
embroiderers but her aunt, a seamstress, was a big influence on her.
Corinne
went on to study for a degree in textile at Bradford College (under the guidance
of Diane Bates).
Her main
inspiration comes from plants and insects and the
artefacts found in historic houses.
In 2006,
Corinne was commissioned to produce 16 publicity panels for the 'Lord of the
Rings' stage shows. The panels, which feature scenes from
the book, were hand-painted and embroidered onto unbleached linen fibre paper.
They were shown in Toronto and again in London in 2007.
