Her talents have thrived at Braitman Studio as she loves to be surrounded by other artists! Painting is a meditation for Courtney. When in flow, it is just her, the paint, brushes, and canvas (or paper). When she gets out of groove, she switches mediums to challenge herself and reignite the creative fuel. She is constantly evolving, but her style is contemporary impressionism with bold yet loose strokes that are full of texture. The viewer is engaged as they bounce their eyes around the canvas thus experiencing all aspects of the work. The forms are often suggested and invites the viewer to look further into the the piece. Courtney continues to explore the application of paint and its beauty using contrasting colors to evoke vibrancy and interest in her current creations. Dimension of Piece (Inches): 30x30x1.5

Artist Bio: Growing up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Courtney felt most at peace with a paint brush in her hand.

She graduated from Saint Mary's High School, then College of Charleston with a BS in Psychology. Currently, her days are filled with painting, tennis, spending time with her husband, two girls, and three dogs in her home studio in Charlotte.
