Meet Corrine Kenner

Founder of Museum Writers

Corrine Kenner has spent most of her life looking for stories—and she often finds them in art.

Corrine started her career as a newspaper reporter. Later, she became a magazine and book editor. And now, she’s now a prolific author. Over the last 20 years, she’s written more than 40 books—fiction and non-fiction alike—which have been translated into 14 languages.

Corrine is a lifelong student of the symbols and stories people use to make sense of the world, and she earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from California State University, Long Beach.

She practices what she preaches. One of Corrine’s favorite works is Stolen Moments, a collection of stories and poems she wrote on location at the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Corrine is also the author of The Colors of Light, a companion to the Impressionists Tarot. The deck is essentially a mini-museum illustrated with 78 paintings by Monet, Manet, Degas, and van Gogh.

In addition, she’s the author of  Tarot for Writers, a best-selling, critically acclaimed guide to using tarot cards for creative inspiration, and Astrology for Writers, which taps into the ancient myths and legends of the planets, stars, and constellations.

In her spare time, Corrine is an amateur artist who draws, paints, and takes classes from working artists.

Corrine lives in DeLand, Florida, where she teaches fiction-writing classes and leads monthly creative writing workshops at the Museum of Art-DeLand.
