I am a painter and collage artist. My art is contemporary and conceptual in nature.
MessageCourtney Cotton (b.1968) is a professional artist, currently living and working in Denver, Colorado. I studied art at the University of South Carolina, Rhode Island School of Design and Queens College.
I am unafraid to express myself and visually express feeling; this can be seen in many of my paintings and collages. Other inspiration stems from mindfulness and reflection.
Whatever the impulse, the result is the fruition of a process, usually grounded in personal discipline that may be spontaneous and rapid or labored and introspective. What transpires ideally captures the inspiration and transforms it into an exuberant explosion or a contemplative and solemn stillness.
My work sometimes poses more questions than answers and offers room for interpretation and new perspectives. It connects to something universal and hence touches a lot of people. "I have more than one visual voice and some find it hard to define or categorize my style." Sometimes my work is conceptual, and often I have the impulse to create something without representing anything. Some of my favorite pieces came about from the act of playing with paint and paper, "I consciously react with the medium, the activity of creating is paramount, and therefore the results happen automatically with the unconscious influence of experiences and emotions."
As more private collectors and businesses continue to support me, my artistic path reflects an unflinching willingness to experiment. You will see my adventurousness in the wide range of works that compromise my oeuvre.
