Courtney Brims

Courtney Brims is a self-taught artist based in Brisbane, Australia. 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 olde 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. Working with pencils, Courtney creates dreamy worlds of lost girls and bewildering creatures reminiscent of fairy tales, focusing on the beauty of  nature and it's dominance over time.
