**ABOUT PATRICIA CORBETT**
Patricia Corbett was an extremely generous woman whose many decades of giving through the Corbett Foundation funded major arts institutions and arts programs around Cincinnati including the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, Music Hall, Riverbend Music Center, the Cincinnati Opera, the College Conservatory of Music at University of Cincinnati, and the Corbett String Quartet-in-Residence at SCPA. Her philanthropy laid the groundwork for the rich local arts scene we enjoy today in Cincinnati. She was also an avid arts patron who attended an exhausting number of performances and exhibitions in any given week. To accomplish this she dressed to the nines, exhibiting her fashion sense as an art form in itself.
Patricia Corbett and her husband J. Ralph Corbett established the Corbett Foundation in 1955 with millions of dollars earned through NuTone Corporation, their door chime company. The Corbett Foundation has made many small and large gifts to Cincinnati area arts, educational and scientific institutions and programs. Patricia Corbett passed away in January 2008 at the age of 99.
**ABOUT JEANINE STEELE**
Jeanine Mullen Steele taught herself to knit at the age of nine much like her nearly illiterate grandmother, who was able to look at a crocheted piece and copy it with ease, had done at a similar age. Jeanine began knitting with brass, copper, and steel wire while traveling abroad with her daughter to tennis tournaments, having been inspired by a Scottish woman she met at an open-air market, knitting sterling silver bracelets. Jeanine’s creation of sculptural wire clothing is an effort to blend an antiquated arts and crafts technique with postmodern fashions.
Jeanine has been primarily known as a photographer with assignments taking her around the world building bodies of work on such disparate subjects as Cuba, phone booths, hands, romance, children, airplanes, and motorcycles. Steele is also an accomplished painter, sculptor and writer.
