Artist biography
For the past 30 years Corinne Loxton has practiced as a visual artist, painting ethereal and dramatic land and skyscapes that reflect her deep connection with nature as a place of spiritual encounter. More than simply pictures of places or natural phenomena, her works evoke experiences of wonder, longing and consolation.
Corinne’s work explores the intimate relationship she has with the landscape of the Blue Mountains, where she lives and works. The trees and rocks standing sentinel, the shifting light and colour, the clouds building or dispersing – these are the characters in her paintings that speak metaphorically about the universal human conditions of loss and love, grief and joy, despair and hope.
Corinne Loxton has received several awards, most notably the Elioth Gruner Art Prize awarded by the Art Gallery of NSW (1999), and a Residency at La Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris (2000). In 2014 she was selected as a finalist in the NSW Parliament Plein Air Art Prize and exhibited in NSW Parliament House. In addition, she is an experienced public speaker, having presented at many exhibitions and conferences and most notably at the TEDx Katoomba in 2023, where she spoke on Connecting with Creative Flow.
