Hi, I'm Courtney.

I'm a Southern contemporary artist currently living in Atlanta, Georgia with my husband and our rescue mutt. Here you'll find a peek into what inspires me, new pieces I'm working on, and a whole lot of random thoughts.

Remember that black and white diptych I was experimenting with a little while back? Here it is finished. Originally I was a little worried about how different this would look than my other work, but ultimately decided just to take a step back, switch gears, and try and go with the flow. I mean, really, what was the worst that could happen? It would look terrible and I’d toss it? It’s not as though this was a life and death decision 😂 And now that it’s all said and done, I had a blast making it. And the more I look at it, the more I see that it’s not that far of a departure from my other work. Sure it’s lacking color, but my style is still right there. (Which for someone who took a minute to find and feel confident in her style, is really an accomplishment in itself.) “Somewhere In The Grey” No. 1 and No. 2, original ink on paper, 11”x15”, $175 each

It’s storming cats and dogs here in Atlanta, but thanks to the warm weather everything is slowly starting to bloom. I’m especially fond of these blooms that @kailinart captured a little while back. My grandmother (Meme) had one of these trees in her backyard and I remember us lazily rocking back and forth on her swing, eating cinnamon rolls, and talking as the petals fell down around us. Now every time I see these, I’m reminded of those spring days spent with her.

So stoked about how this new piece is coming along. This one ☝️(and 15-20 some odd others will be available next month!! Make sure you sign up for my newsletter so you don’t miss out.)

In love with everything going on here.

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! Hope you’re feeling (and sharing) the love today. This painting is one of the 20 or so that will be released next month! Of course, if you want to claim it before then just shoot me an email and I’ll make that happen. “Awaken”, watercolor and ink original painting, 9”x 12” $200 (unframed)

Hats off to Martha!

martha stewart weddings feature via 100 layer cake

I was so happy to see that Martha Stewart Weddings featured a same sex wedding in their latest issue! Not only is it an incredibly beautiful wedding, but how amazing is it to see such a wonderful display of support for equality?! And a special thanks to 100 layer cake for bringing this feature to my attention!
