This image was taken on a sunny summer day in Leland a few years ago. So it's only fitting that I would feature it often in work for this upcoming pop up show!⁠

I will have it available in a number of different formats: stickers, cards, prints, and image transfers!⁠

Exciting announcement!! I am preparing for a WEEK LONG pop up show in Fishtown at the beginning of June!! June 1-6th I hope you come see me in Leland!⁠
⁠
I could not be more excited. And nervous! I feel a bit rusty when it comes to preparing for a show. It has been quite the hiatus for this art business of mine. Between COVID, having a baby, and spending a lot of time tending to my wedding and portrait photography work I am super stoked to get back into art sales with a show like this. ⁠
⁠
All Summer long, is hosting a rotating schedule of artists each week. My mom and I will be taking over the Art Shanty from June 1-6 and I hope to see you there! More details and sneak peeks soon!

We drove North and arrived at the base of the trail. We put spikes on our boots and grabbed a couple of beers. We hiked to the top, laughed into the wind, huddled together sipping the cold bubbles with cold fingers and walked back. I don't remember what we were talking about, but I remember the feeling of a good conversation. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
My name is Courtney. I'm an artist and photographer living in Traverse City, Michigan with my husband and almost 4 month old son. I live for outdoor adventures like these. Whether its a small hike, a short ski through the woods, a quick dip in the lake, or an epic adventure - if it's outside I'm probably stoked about it.

New year. New work. New ideas.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Experimenting with a potential new series... With a baby in tow, this work might not turn into tangible art pieces until next Winter, but that's what I want this space to become. Intentional and thoughtful. Exploring an art practice, enjoying the process again.
