Courtney Khail | Southern Watercolor Artist (photo by Elle Golden)

Hi, I'm Courtney.

I'm a Southern contemporary artist currently living in Athens, 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. (Oh! And for those curious, my last name is pronounced “kale”.)

I was going to say “teaching an old dog new tricks” but 1) I’m not old (I can’t even say middle aged because I hope I at LEAST make it to my eighties and I’m not even 40 yet) and 2) This isn’t exactly a new trick.

Note to self: remember to wear gloves. (Just call me Violet Beauregarde, I guess.)

This moment right here- where I get to see someone experiencing my work in real time- is one of my most favorite things. The studio gets quiet and if you listen closely you almost always hear the deep inhale that comes at the start of really LOOKING

It’s funny how when I get really busy/really into work and life, social media kind of gets put on the back burner (which ironically makes it seem like “nothing” is going on.) Anyhow, I’m still here- working on projects, hostin

Q&A with Atlanta artist Courtney Khail on CommonCreativ ATL

A few weeks back CommonCreative ATL reached out to interview me and the piece went live today. If you'd like to read it, you can find it here.

And of course, a huge thank you to CommonCreative and Lisa for interviewing me. It was an honor!

Studio Sneak Peek: Radio Interview

June 05, 2011 in From the Studio, Seen

A little while ago, Martine emailed me to see if I would be interested in appearing on a radio show she co-hosts with Lee Anne Culpepper to talk about my business. Despite the fact I normally cringe whenever I hear myself speak (this isn't just me, right? Doesn't everyone have a "wow, that's what I sound like?" moment when they hear their voice mail message or something?) I decided it sounded like fun and said yes.

So after an hour in the studio, here it is! (I'm the show from May 26th.) If you'd like to hear what I actually sound like (as well as a little more on how I got started, my background, etc.) I'd love for you to take a listen.
