Piece description from the artist
NYC's fast paced energy is what inspired my series of NYC food carts. Because these carts are superfluously dispersed throughout almost every street corner, I hope viewers see these carts as more than a quick meal on the go. My intention is to depict each cart being its own little gem, often looked over in such a congested city.
Courtney Heather's influences stem from being raised in the suburbs of Southern California, an ideal setting that allures and deceits. She creates art inspired by the ideas that provoke such pleasure in being seduced by the familiar and the unknown.
After living and studying abroad in London for 2 years, tourists all over Europe have become a huge influence in Courtney's practice. The notion of capturing temporary moments and allowing them to exist eternally – ex: photographs, souvenirs, etc. is mirrored through painting.
Courtney has a BA in Studio Art from California State University, San Bernardino, and received a MFA with distinction from Wimbledon College of Art shortly after.
