Meet artist and LA HOPE DEALER Corie Mattie! The impetus for our interview is the stunning "Own Your Happy" t-shirt collaboration between Corie + Jeremy Novy and streetwear label The KOSHER Brand.
With an eye for the intersection of art and activism, Corie uses a balance of wordplay and imagery to deliver a message that hits you in the gut. Corie was thrust into the spotlight in 2020 as “LA Hope Dealer,” after becoming known for her striking yellow murals encouraging the community to stay home and stay positive during the early days of the pandemic.
