In the heart of Temecula Wine Country, artist Isabel Lemus has found a way to blend sustainability, creativity, and community through her unique art brand, Cork Divine. Featured in the May 2024 Ladies Issue of Temecula City Lifestyle, Isabel has quickly become known for transforming humble wine corks into striking works of art that capture the spirit of wine culture and the region itself.
Each piece is handcrafted, shaped into hearts, wine bottles, glasses, and even California silhouettes. These designs don’t just decorate — they tell a story. Every cork carries the memory of a shared toast, a celebration, or a quiet evening, and Isabel repurposes them into timeless keepsakes.
Recently, Isabel gifted Temecula City Lifestyle with custom cork sets, created with care and offered as thoughtful mementos for local wineries. Displayed on tasting room counters or gifted to wine club members, these cork creations make an immediate impression — they’re personal, creative, and rooted in the very product that makes Temecula thrive.
For Isabel, Cork Divine isn’t just about artistry; it’s about connection. Her pieces remind us that wine is more than a pour in a glass — it’s an experience, a memory, and a community. With every cork she reimagines, Isabel continues to celebrate Temecula’s wine country in a way that’s fresh, beautiful, and deeply meaningful.
