Isabella Corine's paintings turn emotion into surreal, dreamlike worlds, using honey, oil, paint and bourbon as symbols of nature, transformation, memory and place.

From mastering realism to creating immersive works like Frisson, Corine’s art invites viewers to look closer, and feel rather than simply understand.

At Locust Grove - Historic Locust Grove, Inc. history isn’t just about the names we already know. It’s also about the lives that survive only in fragments.

Kaitlyn Tisdale, Director of Interpretation at Locust Grove, is working to uncover and amplify the stories of the enslaved men, women and children whose labor built and sustained the historic estate.

Through wills, census records, church registers, family papers and other clues, Tisdale pieces together identities, families and stories that were nearly lost.

Her work is about more than uncovering the past; it’s about making sure those who lived, worked and endured at Locust Grove are remembered as individuals, not anonymous figures in history.
