Drawing in Provincetown
I am in the process of becoming a botanical artist. I first studied basic drawing and water color with an amazing artist and teacher named Cori Lapin-Cohen. She teaches at Lasdon Arboretum in Northern Westchester. Now I have decided to expand my technique by working toward a certificate in botanical illustration at the New York Botanical Garden. The NYBG is one of the premiere places in the world to be trained. The teachers are all professional artists with a passion for what they do.
Becoming An Artist
This is a blog about my process of change as I enter my 7th decade. Please read along and share my joys and struggles as I work to create what I have imagined can be in both my art and my life.

Drawing in Provincetown
Martha Graham in a letter to Agnes DeMille:
There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one of you in all time, the expression is unique, and if you block it, it will never exist though any other medium, and be lost....No artist is pleased...There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine satisfaction, a blessed unrest, that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.

About Me
- Anne Corey
- I have always been attracted to the precision and beauty of botanical art, the way a flower or piece of fruit can look very real and yet reflect the artist’s sense of the object’s “personality.” My first teacher was the master artist Cori Lapin-Cohen at Lasdon Arboretum in Northern Westchester. Now I have decided to expand my technique by working toward a certificate in botanical illustration at the New York Botanical Garden.
