Hey! I’m Courtney.
Seeing it’s the new year, I thought I’d reintroduce myself.
Here are some things you should know.
My last name is pronounced “kale.” (Most often people say Khalil, which is close, but wrong.)
I’m a contemporary artist living and working on the east side of Atlanta
I create bold, vibrant, watercolor paintings that are full of movement and contrast.
I have a BFA in scientific illustration from The University of Georgia‘s Lamar Dodd School of Art (If you don’t know what scientific illustration is- think plants, bugs, and bones. I basically majored in illustration, painting, graphic design, and biology.)
I’ve swam with dolphins and manatees, but never sharks. (At least, not on purpose.)
I’ve also broken my collarbone three times- twice trying to fly.
Now let’s talk about you.
If you love contemporary art that tells a story, look no further.
If you feel like you’re a little bit traditional, but also a little bit modern, you’re in the right place.
And of course, if you enjoy dry, sarcastic humor paired with long stories (accompanied by a lot of unnecessary hand motions) I’ve got you covered 😉
So is this the place for you? If so, welcome! I’m stoked to have you here and can’t wait to get to know you better.
