Larson Gallery Guild Artist of the Month, February: Corinne Hines

Corinne Hines







My day job is as a hospital administrator in Cardiovascular medicine at Yakima Regional Medical and Cardiac Center.  Photography provides a tremendous outlet from the rigors of the medical world.  The arts and music have always been an important part of my life.  Here in Yakima I am pleased to be involved with the Yakima Symphony Orchestra as president of the board for the past 2 years and to be a member of the Yakima Symphony Chorus. 
  I have been taking photographs for about 25 years.  When I moved from Chicago to Selah over six years ago I was fascinated by the expansiveness and the quality of the light in this valley.  The sunsets from my porch can be spectacular and I never tire of them.  I also find the geography within a days drive of where we live to be spectacular.  My favorite compositions are landscapes, wildlife and architecture. 
I seldom travel without my camera because you never know when an opportunity might present itself.    Proof for me was on a trip to Portland  I was able to photograph a family of wild horses on the Yakama reservation.  Traveling to Yellowstone, GrandTetons and other national parks specifically for photography presents spectacular results.  I have had the privilege of being able to travel to many parts of the world and have enjoyed visual art of all kinds but I find some of the best opportunities for photography are literally in our own backyard.
