Corina was a scientific illustrator until a drunk driver ran into her at a stoplight, breaking her neck and ending her career. But she did not let having a broken neck stop her, and now she is an award-winning artist in various mediums. She has also turned to writing and has written two children's books and a third book about her life. In her spare time, Corina has also produced a CD of her own music, a collection of God-inspired songs. Because of polio and breast cancer, she has undergone more than ninety surgeries. She has also won battles with clinical depression, a severe eating disorder, and post-traumatic stress syndrome. She still suffers from chronic pain but does not let it limit her horizons. Corina has learned to embrace her self-image successfully with the help of the Lord. From the traumatic experiences in her life, Corina has been inspired to write and illustrate these books. She loves to minister to people, both young and old, especially those who are hurting from deep emotional pain, using her God-given gift for empathy. She lives in Florida with her husband, two service dogs, a parrot, and a cat. She has three grown children, four grandchildren, and one great-grandchild.
