Corneille Little
Raleigh, NC
Corneille Little, North Carolina based artist and elementary school art teacher, specializes in pet portraits and painted paper collage. She also offers private art classes, semi-private art classes and collage workshops out of her home studio: www.raleighartstudio.com.
Corneille has been perfecting her skills as a painter for 20 + years and has enjoyed painting hundreds of pet portraits for families in NC and across the country. Her unique style combines realistic representation, especially focused on capturing the character through the eyes of the pet, as well as colorful impressionistic brushwork.
Corneille is well known for her love of all animals and has three dogs of her own. While she has experience painting all types of animals, from marine animals and farm animals to birds and bees, Corneille is most celebrated for her paintings of pets.
In addition to pet portraits, Corneille’s art has recently evolved with a new style showcasing a technique using hand painted paper. Her painted paper collages are truly unique, colorful, and richly textured. Each ‘brush stroke’ in the composition is created with torn painted paper allowing her new work to tell stories of their own. The subjects in this series include a variety of birds native to North Carolina, honeybees as well as other animals and flowers.
The painted paper collages are available either as original or as giclees professionally and beautifully printed on paper or mounted on birch wood panels. Corneille will accept custom commissions for both pet portraits and painted paper collage.
