Orlando Corona is a prolific young artist located in Greenville, South Carolina. He specializes in painting, printmaking and murals, starting only a few years ago but exceeding expectations by becoming a successful professional artist in the Upstate and beyond. Orlando draws deep inspirations from his roots as a first-generation Mexican immigrant, and strives to tell stories about his own experience, yet outgrow cultural stereotypes and limits. He aims to inspire others through his work and be an integral part of his community and the world.

Artist Statement:
"At the Trillium Arts residency, I look forward to using the secluded, serene space to improve my watercolor and ink painting skills by drawing inspiration from the surrounding scenery. By immersing myself in this physical and mental space, I know I will be able to focus on my goals and do what I love- create and make meaningful art."
