C.S. Corbin
C.S. Corbin (b. 1992, Fort Walton Beach, FL) is a visual artist based in Washington, D.C. They work in acrylic and sculptural mediums as well as digital illustration. Corbin grew up in Northwest Florida and earned their BA in Studio Art & International Affairs from Florida State University in 2013. Before settling in D.C. in 2017, Corbin was a teacher in South Korea and Thailand then moved to St. Thomas, U.S.V.I. to pursue a career in the wine industry. When their winemaking career took a sharp turn at the start of the 2020 pandemic, Corbin began creating again after a ten year hiatus from earning their art degree. Corbin’s work is a colorful extension of their journey exploring gender identity, queer representation, their southern roots, and the beauty of unlearning. Their work has been included in exhibitions at Umbrella Art Fair, Touchstone Gallery, Hera Gallery RI, Playhaus, The Katzen Arts Center, Washington Studio School and Rhizome DC. In July 2024, Corbin featured their first solo exhibition at Thundershark Gallery in DC.
