Corrigan Eckert is an environmental artist. The second of four children, she grew up in a tight knit nomadic family of social workers, teachers, and ministers. Moving from one corner of the United States to the other, through eight different states, she now considers the midwest to be her home. She received her undergraduate degree in visual art with a focus on painting from Earlham College in 2016. Now, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she studies the impacts of place-based artworks on community engagement and land stewardship.
Through the use of drawing, paper arts, painting, and various printmaking processes, Corrigan creates dynamic art pieces that reveal her unique perspective of the land. Corrigan participates in exhibitions, creates public artworks, and gathers experiences at artist residencies and workshops to gain technical skills. As a curator she has worked on multiple group exhibitions, such as “Perspectives: a study through lithography” in 2025 and “Brushwork: UWM painting survey” in 2024. She is currently an Artist-in-Residence for Gallery 224’s ART Servancy program in Port Washington, WI where she is researching Wisconsin birds at the Riveredge Nature Center.
