hi! i’m courtney.

I’m a fine artist and illustrator, working from my home studio in Michigan. At my core, I’m someone who loves spending time outdoors, making things, and finding ways to blend those two passions in my studio practice. 

From taking in sweeping landscapes, to pausing to appreciate the little ecosystems in my own backyard, I find so much joy in experiencing and learning about nature. Much of my work is inspired by my personal experiences and the small details that have sparked my own sense of awe and curiosity for the outdoors. Through my work, I hope to connect with those who feel similarly and move others to be curious about nature and to enjoy even the smallest moments spent experiencing the natural world.

Ball is life, does not believe in personal space, most likely to pull boss away from her work.
