Corrina Sephora Mensoff (born November 4, 1971, in Alstead, New Hampshire) is a visual artist who specializes in metal work, sculpture, painting, installation, and mixed media in Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States. Corrina works with universal and personal themes of loss and transformation, within the context of contemporary society. In Corrina’s most recent bodies of work she is exploring lunar images, cells, and the universe as “a meditation in the making.” In a concurrent body of work she has delved into the physical transformation of guns, altering their molecular structure into flowers and garden tools through hot forging the materials. Her work has led her to community involvement with the conversation of guns in our society.[1][2]

Education

Mensoff received her BFA in Sculpture and Metalsmithing at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston in 1995. She received her MFA in Sculpture at Georgia State University[3] in 2005.

She created a self-guided journeyman's apprenticeship in Atlanta. She founded Phoenix Metalworks, specializing in sculpture, furniture and architectural works. She taught at the University of Georgia in Athens, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD),[4] and Georgia State University. She has conducted research on architecture and environment in Croatia and Romania.[5] She has won the City of Atlanta Arts for Services Grant[6] three times.
