Artist in Residence  | Corrine Loomis Dietz

November 1-30, 2022

Corrine Loomis-Dietz received a BFA from CWU with concentrations in Painting and Photography. Influenced by the many modernist movements and investigates the abstract reality of paint and process.  From 1999 – 2022, Corrine had been a contract artist for GOLDEN Artist Colors, teaching and lecturing about acrylic paint systems, throughout the Northwest.  This association with modern materials directly influences her work on many levels. Currently, Corrine directs her energies to her studio practice. As a Northwest artist, Corrine’s paintings have been exhibited regionally and as far away as Miami and New York. 

Her work has been included in several North Light books and local publications. In the past 10 years Corrine has been awarded five residencies and traveled to several major cities in the US to participate in intensive workshops with acrylic paint systems.

 I intend to “Explore Mono-type, Drawing and Painting techniques on paper and wood panel. Utilizing the space, time and the press to:

• Work with Acrylic Paints, investigating Non Toxic and environmental methods of Printmaking.
• Monotype investigations using the Gelli plate.
• Altering the Monoprint with mix media applications.
• Explore puddle painting on wood panel
