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”.)

Featuring a color palette of varying oranges, my painting “Cassandra” was inspired by the mythological figure by the same name.

s'mores

I love s'mores. The gooey barely burned marshmallow (who am I kidding. I love catching them on fire and blowing them out. yes, I know this has to be bad for me...), the melted chocolate... all held together and balanced with the crunch of sweet graham crackers. Yum. (Just last week I went and stocked up on chocolate, marshmallows, and graham crackers "just in case." Looks like we need to plan a camping or lake trip asap.)

So on that note, I saw these over on Oh Happy Day! and had to share. What a wonderful idea for a party, wedding, whatever. If only we'd had a fire pit at the wedding...

Enjoy!
