Courtney is an artist and regenerative farmer living on Bpangerang Country in Rutherglen, Victoria. She holds a Bachelor of Environments from the University of Melbourne. Courtney has exhibited her paintings locally and across Australia.
Courtney’s work draws on her experience as a farmer and challenges prevailing colonial approaches to understanding and perceiving the landscape. Her place-based practice questions outdated wild/domestic, native/invasive dichotomies. Courtney’s paintings often border abstraction and are grounded in a love of colour, texture and layers.
