Corinne Batt-Rawden

Hello and welcome.

Born in Sydney in 1972 of a French born mother and an English father and identifies as 'first generation Australian'. Raised along the east coast of Australia and now settled in the beautiful Northern Rivers.

After a life changing accident Corinne discovered arts practice as a means of rehabilitation. Corinne advocates for the benefits and value of art, and its creation and exhibition, for developing the self and community.

Corinne's work is inspired by spontaneous mark making and experimentation.

'Human creativity is suppressed in many aspects of our global consumer mono culture.

Art is one avenue where the soul can be released, free to express and touch others. '

From the 4th until the 14th November 2011,

Corinne Batt-Rawden and Kerrie Divett

present a joint exhibition entitled

Modus Vivendi.

Modus Vivendi

n. pl. A manner of living;

a way of life.

n. A manner of living that reflects

the person's values and attitudes.

Corinne's artistic expressions investigate the inner

conflict of being, and her relationship to self and her environment through expressions, textures, and observations through print, painting and clay.

Kerrie's work uses various mediums to explore her relationship to the language surrounding a diagnosis

of breast cancer. These works are a commentary

on her personal, emotional, physical and social

relationships as she defines her mode of living.
