About

Cory Favre is a visual artist living and working in Minnesota. She has a BGS from Ball State University with focuses in Studio Art and Interior Design and is an alumni of The Women’s Art Institute Studio Intensive in 2019.

She has served on the Board of Directors for The Women’s Art Resources of Minnesota, has been a long time member of the Northeast Minneapolis Artists Association and North Suburban Center for the Arts. She has exhibited work both locally and regionally and has been the recipient of two Minnesota State Arts Board Grants - an Artist Initiative Grant in 2020 for her White Knuckled Project and a Creative Support Grant in 2022 for her current work on motherhood.

Cory primarily works in drawing and painting (oils), but has recently been experimenting with felt and embroidery in her work. Inspired by social issues and politics, particularly those issues facing women, she explores uncomfortable themes through bright, vibrant and fun imagery to draw the viewer into the conversation. Creating work this way makes these topics approachable and gives people a safe place to explore and think on their own experiences.
