Corina Balan

Raised in Romania in a home full of creativity, music, and spiritual values, I developed a lifelong passion for growth and art. I studied graphic art and painting, earning a Bachelor of Arts after three years. I exhibited in Romania and won second place for graphic art in a national medical professionals' competition. In 1991, I moved to the U.S., paused my art to pursue a healthcare career, earning a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Leadership and an MBA, working full-time and part-time. Around eight years ago, I reignited my artistic expression, blending photography, painting, and spirituality. Since relocating to Lewiston, Idaho, in 2020, I’ve been active in the local art scene. In 2023, I participated in five exhibitions at the Valley Art Center in Clarkston, Washington. In 2024, I became a resident artist there, showcasing my work year-round. Today, my art embodies faith, resilience, and a desire to inspire hope, peace, and reflection through beauty.
