Corrina Cooper

Corrina Cooper was born in 1990 in the South East of England and is of Costa Rican decent. In 2010 she moved to Lincoln to study at a BA in Fine Art at the University of Lincoln.

Her creative practice at this point was lost in the awe, and intimidating allure of the artworld, unable to find focus but with an interest in documenting or highlighting 'the everyday'. Laying grass in a gallery was one such instance.

Following this, Corrina Cooper's career, spanned the education sector, focusing upon teaching and learning within a creative context. Completing her MA Education: Leadership & Management in 2020. Her dissertation discussed the increased focus from governing bodies and contemporary research towards mental health and emotional wellbeing in education. (DFE, 2017; Hanley, et al., 2017).

Simultaneously, and despite the restrictions of lockdown/ 2020, she has started to push her creative practice further. The confines of a flat, and lack of being able to escape has unintentionally created a creative bubble. One that still grasps that concept of 'the everyday'. through that initial thread of focus back in 2010. One that has taken a decade to develop. A position that fractures thought geometrically but still holds a grasp on reality.
