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

This morning I woke up to a tweet letting me know that Nole of Oh So Beautiful Paper had mentioned my work. When I clicked over I was greeted with an amazing post talking all about my new stationery line as well as my watercolor paintings. Thank you so much for the kind words, Nole! I'm so thrilled you love my work and shared it with your readers. Consider my week made!

If you'd like to see what Nole had to say, pop on over and take a look. I'd love if you left a comment as well and took a moment to browse her whole site- it's an amazing place full of beautiful paper goods!
