Among the first to be captured by Corina’s talents with charcoal were athletes Warren Moon and Dennis Rodman. Her popularity reached new limits when she became officially sanctioned by the Frank Sinatra Estate, following Frank Sinatra’s death, to create three different charcoal portraits, which are titled The Frank Sinatra Tribute Series. She had exciting showings in the year 2000 in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, which featured her Frank Sinatra Tribute Series.
The creation of the MVP (Most Valuable Portrait) Series began with a special exhibit in Lake Tahoe at the American Century Golf Tournament., where Corina featured athletes John Elway, Dan Marino and Mario Lemieux.
In the first quarter of 2002, Corina received high recognition when she appeared on the cover of the International Art Magazine, “Art Expressions.” Next she was selected to be one of the featured artists for the Legacy Art Series at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. On February 23rd, the night before the closing ceremonies, Corina unveiled her Legacy painting of Apolo Anton Ohno to Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson and to the City of Salt Lake. The piece commemorating the 2002 Games will remain in the City for years to come. Corina also painted many other Olympic MVP’s including former Olympians Franz Weber, Bonnie Blair, Dan Jansen, Bode Miller, Rosey Fletcher and Apolo Anton Ohno, as well as Paralympics spokesman Chris Waddell.

In 2002, Corina’s subjects included Moya Lear, (the wife of Lear Jet Pioneer, Bill Lear), Ron and Renae Ryan of Ryan International Airlines, and the celebrities from the Reno Film Festival (Gary Busey, Piper Laurie, Marlee Matlin and Elliot Gould). In addition to her many portraits of highly acclaimed subjects, Corina was asked to join forces with endangered species spokesperson, Timothy Treadwell, of Grizzly People. She created a series that helped benefit the harp seal and endangered grizzly bears, prior to Timothy Treadwell’s passing. This captured the eyes of many unique musicians and dj’s worldwide, which led to her being asked to create a series of the world’s top dj’s that was shown in one of New York’s ARC’s in late 2003.
In September 2007, Corina exhibited in the New York Independent Film and Video Festival in Los Angeles where she painted George Clooney, Elton John and Johnny Depp.
