REAGAN CORBETT

Reagan Corbett is a Houston-based contemporary artist whose work explores nostalgia, memory, and the cultural symbolism embedded within everyday American life. A native Houstonian, Corbett has spent her life immersed in the city's arts community. As a child, she attended classes at the Glassell Junior School and spent weekends sketching at The Menil, experiences that fostered an early appreciation for art's ability to shape cultural memory and human connection. She later studied Art History at the University of Paris Sorbonne and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art from the University of Texas at Austin in 2016.

Drawing inspiration from Americana, popular culture, family history, and the evolving landscape of Texas, Corbett creates paintings and mixed media works that transform familiar imagery into emotionally charged narratives. Her practice often examines the intersection of memory, identity, and place, using iconic objects, landscapes, and archival imagery as symbols of aspiration, transformation, and collective experience. Through a visual language that blends elements of pop art, realism, and contemporary storytelling, she seeks to create work that is both visually accessible and emotionally resonant.

Corbett is the Founder and Executive Director of The ReagART Collection, a Houston-based creative studio established in 2016. Throughout her young career, Corbett has been featured in numerous articles including British Vogue, Vogue Mexico, Modern Luxury, Architectural Digest, Paper City and The Houston Chronicle, and many more. She has exhibited with numerous galleries, participated in group shows and curated three solo exhibitions, Fleeting Moments in 2017, Perfect in 2019, Sublime in 2021 and SOS: Scenes of Summer with Commerce Gallery in 2022. Most notably, Corbett has placed her iconic Shipley’s donut painting in Lizzo’s private art collection. Additionally, she was selected by the TEDx Committee to give a TED Talk in May 2018, and was included in The Celebration of Texas Art 2019, curated by Jennie Goldstein, assistant curator of The Whitney Museum of American Art. In 2020, Corbett completed her first large scale mural on behalf of the City of Houston amidst the global pandemic; and in 2021 Corbett was the first solo exhibitionist at The Dallas Art Fair.
