After spending more than 15 years in the computer industry and owning her own graphics business, Courtney has decided to promote her life long passion of fine art. Her paintings focus on still life, figurative scenes and landscape.

Courtney was born and raised in Schiller Park, IL and is a graduate of The American Academy of Art in Chicago. She has been a member of The Great Lakes Pastel Society and is currently an active member of the Plainfield Art League. She now happily resides in Shorewood, IL with her husband and children.

Courtney creates captivating still lifes, landscapes and figurative pastel & oil paintings. Her oil paintings, timeless and evocative, are filled with vibrant color and brushwork. The still lifes created in pastel & oil paint are full of lush, sun-ripened fruits, ornate vases and rich fabrics; emotive landscapes in pastel & oil paint depict the vastness of our world; and figurative works of mundane moments communicating precise feelings.
