Jean Corby is a Brooklyn, N.Y. based artist who has mastered the craft of combining thread and paint for her mixed media canvases. Inspired by wild plant growth, the ocean, trees, etc., she produces colorful drawings then interprets them with the technology used to program her embroidery machines. In one canvas, JC might add stitched detail to a painted scene or embroider large areas with layers of open stitches in various colors mimicking overlapping paint. The effect is art work done with bold, loose, and expressive energy punctuated with intricate details. Jean Corby has developed the perfect process for her to share her love of the environment with the viewer.      

​Her pieces are in collections in NYC, Westchester County, Wisconsin, Brooklyn and Santa Cruz, CA. She was part of a group show at N.West Gallery in New Canaan,Ct. and currently, 5/2025, her work can be seen in the Arco New York Salon at 387 Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn, N.Y..
