My name is Corinna Wollf. I am a visual artist, originally from Saskatoon, SK, presently residing in Northern Italy. Since completing my Masters of Fine Arts degree in 2016, I have produced multiple bodies of work and participated in curated exhibitions in Verona, Italy; Venice, Italy; and cities across Canada including Montreal, Toronto, Halifax, Saskatoon, Vancouver, Abbotsford, and Penticton.
My primary medium is beadwork, often combined with painting, collage and sculpture. My first Canada Council for the Arts Grant was awarded in 2019 through the Research and Creation component of the Explore and Create Program for the project The Antiquarian’s House, which was exhibited at the Contemporary Native Art Biennial 2020 in Montreal. Subsequently, I was awarded two travel support awards to attend and speak at exhibition openings featuring my work. Most recently, in 2024, I was awarded funding support through the Research and Creation component of the Explore and Create Program for the project Transhumance: Counting Cows, Counting Beads, which is currently in its final stages, to be exhibited in 2026 and 2027.
My artwork can be seen on the cover of the international bestseller, The Break, by Katherena Vermette. In 2018, I was named as a runner-up for the Canadian Art Writing Prize and my artwork was featured in the Winter 2019 Issue of Grain Magazine. in 2023, I was commissioned to create original artworks in response to the Libretto for the opera Li Keur: Riel’s Heart of the North, a major musical work by poet Suzanne Steele and composers Neil Weisensel and Alex Kusturok. The commissioned artworks were included in stage projections during performances in November, 2023 presented by Manitoba Opera.
I am represented by Art Placement Gallery in Saskatoon, SK and my artwork is in numerous private and public collections. A Red River Métis (Manitoba Métis Federation citizen) and ethnic Mennonite woman, my current work explores identity, culture and place.
