Who am I?

My name is Corinne Maggiore, I am an animal artist and I am going to tell you about what makes me tick and gives meaning to my existence. Surrounded by animals, I think we can say that my personal and professional life is dedicated to them.

Very early on, I oriented my professional future towards "the path" of animals. Passionate about horses since I was little, I naturally chose to make my passion a profession. Hiking guide then riding instructor, I spent many years in their company, always having with me a sheet of paper and a pencil to be able to draw them in my rest times. Often led to provide them with care following injuries in the park or colic, I had the need to broaden my knowledge in animal care, which led me towards the profession of veterinary assistant.

With my diploma in hand, I worked for a few years as a veterinary assistant in a clinic in my region. Then one day, brushes and pencils took an increasingly important place in my life with an inexplicable need to draw and paint all the animals that were jostling around in my head.

The time had come for me to become a full-time wildlife artist and make it my new profession.

I think you could say that animals have always been my guiding principle!

I naturally turned to dry pastel because it is a medium that "speaks to me" and that I practice by feeling because I am completely self-taught in this art.

Being very curious and always having a need for novelty and to get out of my comfort zone, I also practice oil painting, acrylic, pyrography and clay modeling.
