Since designing the 2010 Olympic Medals, Corrine has become involved in a multitude of projects and causes. She has developed a line of made-in-canada giftware created from recycled glass and resin. This rustic slate-like cheese board is subtly West Coast and totally practical. It measures appx 10" x 8" and is perfect for serving cheeses and snacks.
Corrine Hunt's grandmother is A’neesla’ga, a Tlingit noblewoman from Alaska. Her uncle is engraver Norman Brotchie. Corrine has lived in the Vancouver area since 1975, graduating from high school and continuing her education at Simon Fraser University, where she majored in Anthropology. Norman Brotchie sparked her interest in creating art with his beautiful hand-engraved jewellery, and was instrumental in introducing her to Kwakwaka'wakw art. Corrine has been working as a jeweller since 1985. She sells her work to galleries throughout North America, and is collected around the world. In 2006, she designed the logo for the World Peace Forum, which was held in Vancouver. She also has large installations at Whistler's Hilton Hotel, and the office for Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). In 2009, Corrine co-created the medals for the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver with designer Omer Arbel.
