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.

Want to know more?

I was going to take yesterday afternoon off from painting (so I could get some of the business stuff done) but then I went outside and the weather was so pretty and the leaves were starting to fall...and next thing I knew I was painting. (By the way, I was totally okay with the turn of events.)

My Dreams In Color Series is officially live! Head over to the shop to claim yours before they are gone :) (The paintings pictured here are approximately 11”x 14” and arrive unframed for $275 each.)

Putting the finishing touches on these pieces/uploading them to the site because they go live TOMORROW! I can’t wait to share these with you and hope you’ll take a moment to stop by and see my newest work. (And if you fall in love with something and just have to have it, they’re available for purchase directly from the site!) P.S. If you’re an email subscriber, check your email before the 10a launch tomorrow for a “thanks for your support” gift.

This morning I attended the Governor’s Awards for the Arts and Humanities at Georgia’s State Capitol. There I had the honor of presenting the First Lady of Georgia (Mrs. Deal) with a painting to thank her for her support for the arts and humanities over the past eight years. After the ceremony I was talking with the Governor and First Lady and couldn’t help but feel such awe and gratitude for the amazing people, places, and experiences my work has brought into my life. This doesn’t come even close to capturing how I feel, but it’s just so. cool. that I’m able to do this and I am forever thankful for the people who encourage, support, and trust me along this journey. Speaking of awesome people- a huge thank you to Karen Paty and the entire Georgia Council for the Arts for commissioning me to create this painting! It was wonderful working with you and I hope to do it again soon. As for the piece (swipe to see it)- Mrs. Deal is one of only three GA First Ladies to have a camellia named after her, so of course that is the flower I featured in the piece.

Mark your calendars! The Dreams In Color Series is coming October 17th. So excited to share this body of work with y’all!

Nothing says "It's time to party...
