Ms. Corrie Beth Hogg was born the year of the snake in the sleepy southern town of Pensacola Florida. She spent most of her youth in the even smaller town of Ocean Springs, Mississippi. In Ocean Springs, Corrie took art and sewing lessons, attended punk rock shows at a local trailer park, and tagged along on her older brother's fishing trips. She attended Memphis College of Art, graduating first in her class with a BFA in painting, with additional study at the Maryland Institute College of Art and Richmond College in London.

In 2002 Corrie started making her "little animals" that have sold in specialty shops in Brooklyn, Atlanta, and Quebec. In an effort to bring her little animals to life, Corrie started to make costumes and large-scale soft sculptures that are squeamishly fun and deceitfully innocent. She remains deeply dedicated to painting and drawing and can often be found doing just that in her Brooklyn studio.

Corrie's second love, singing and making music, has begun to take a more prominent role in her creative life in recent years. Corrie began writing songs in college after being introduced to old time country and blues and developing a profound love for the Carter Family. Her soulful, evocative voice has been compared to Kitty Wells and Loretta Lynn. To hear Corrie sing is to be brought back to a time when records were records and Hank Williams ruled the streets in his powder blue convertible.

Corrie Beth has lived in NYC since 2001 working as a barista, art handler, decorative painter, floral designer, artist, musician, and crafts person. She can be found riding her bike around town and frequenting vegan eateries.
