Artist Profile // Courtney Brims


Courtney Brims

Over the years Courtney has made her mark on brands such as Element, Hurley & Something else to name a few.
Courtney Brims grew up in the outskirts of Brisbane drawing pink unicorns and prehistoric birds, collecting dead beetles and making costumes.

Graduating from Queensland University of Technology with a degree in Interior Design Courtney turned her drawing arm to full time art and illustration in 2008.

Influenced by the theatricality of vaudeville circus and storytellers of old such as Beatrix Potter, Tim Burton, The Grimm Brothers, Lewis Carroll and Walt Disney, Courtney pays homage to the odd, the bizarre and the eccentric.

Her graphite pencil drawings depict a sweet and sour wonderland of stray creatures and lost damsels and explore the world of reality and fantasy most of us left behind in childhood.
