Corrie Beth Hogg was born in Pensacola, Florida. She spent most of her youth in the small town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi, and began making art at a very young age. She grasped the idea of being an artist as both a job and a way of life at the age of eleven, when she started making and selling little rag dolls to neighbors and friends.
Throughout middle and high school, Corrie took art lessons from local artist Edna Waller, and attended art camp at Firespark in Gainesville, Georgia. At fifteen, Corrie started going to punk shows at "the little house", a family-run place where she discovered her love of music.
Corrie Beth attended Memphis College of Art, graduating first in her class with a BFA in painting, and spent a semester at the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore. Through Richmond College in London, she spent a summer with the European Traveling Art History program. She was honored to be included in several shows at the Marshall Arts Gallery in Memphis, among others.
After college, Corrie did some traveling, rode her bike along the California coast, and attended the Vermont Studio Center.
In 2001, Corrie Beth moved to Brooklyn. Her first job was painting Andrew Lloyd Webber’s penthouse in the Trump Tower. Corrie spent some time with several decorative painting companies until she started working at the Dia Center for the Arts in Chelsea. There, she helped manage the rooftop video salon, learned to love video and performance art, and worked on the art handling team. Corrie was employed at Dia for several years, until they opened the museum in Beacon, NY.
During this time Corrie Beth continued making art in her cramped apartment. She picked up the guitar, began writing and recording her songs, and has been collaborating with musicians ever since. Her soulful, evocative voice has been compared to Kitty Wells and Loretta Lynn.
After Dia, Corrie started working for the renowned event design and production company Avi Adler, now called David Stark Design. It was here that Corrie was able to utilize her skills, learned from a lifetime of making things. While working for David Stark, Corrie Beth participated in the composing of two design books, countless photo shoots and events, styling, floral design, crafting, and the design and fabrication of prototypes for a product line. While preparing for these events she saw the inner workings of famed NYC institutions such as the MoMA and the Metropolitan Opera.
In 2009 Corrie decided to take a break from New York. She spent a month traveling across country, and landed in a small town in Northern California, where she worked for five months on an organic farm. At the Natural Trading Company, Corrie learned a lot about fruit trees and root vegetables, while continuing to work on her art and music.
In the time following the farm, Corrie has been traveling, including trips to Turkey and Costa Rica. She has been sailing, hiking, and bike touring. She continues to work part-time for David Stark and can be found in Georgia working on her various creative pursuits. Look for Corrie back in New York City later in 2011.
