Welcome! My name is Cora Van Vleet, I’m an interdisciplinary artist and designer based in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

I draw inspiration from the glory and beauty of the natural world and am committed to creating work that emphasizes our deep connections to both nature and one another.

Nine Muses is my grand effort to bring together all of my creative pursuits under one collective vision—grounded in the values of slow, sustainable creation.
