BIO


A life-long Angelino, Courtney grew up in Glendora, California.  
She moved to Eagle Rock (Los Angeles) in 1999 to attend
Occidental College for her B.A. and has continued to reside in
the area.  Since her graduation from Otis College of Art & Design,
with her M.F.A., she has been employed at Art Center College of
Design in nearby Pasadena.

While Courtney would never have guessed that her future
would be in the arts, it came as no surprise to her highly artistic
family.  Courtney’s mother is a muralist and high school art
teacher, one of her brothers is a cinematic art director as well as
an accomplished painter/muralist, and both her oldest brother
and father are talented draftsmen.  Courtney herself did not
take an art class until her freshman year of undergrad where she
was then immediately converted to a life in the visual arts.
