Corrine Yonce Studios specializes s in place-based, story-centered paintings and installations. She explores the therapeutic role of story sharing and receiving through portraiture and audio histories. Yonce creates from her own experience of inequity as a low-income woman in a female household of addiction and mental illness. Her work addresses the power of creative placemaking through presentation of projects in nontraditional art spaces and by bringing contemporary art pieces to low-income communities.
For the past three years, Yonce has spear-headed the statewide story sharing project, Voices of Home, featuring residents who live in affordable housing. Through paintings and audio recordings, she created visual installations celebrating those who depend on subsidies to have a roof over their head. Yonce raised $20,000 to support the project. In addition to working with Vermont’s first memory care facility to capture the fleeting audio history of residents, Yonce is weaving together the experiences of female familial trauma in the multi-disciplinary project, Female Familial.
