Courtney Leigh

Goodyear Arizona Fantasy Artist 20 year old Courtney Leigh.

Courtney grew up on an ostrich farm in Arizona where her rural lifestyle helped feed her imagination and her love for art. This emerging new fantasy artist made her debut in a gnarly forest in Nov. 2008 at the Phoenix Faerie Festival. After graduating from a performing arts school and getting her degree from the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising, Courtney chose to follow the path that repeatedly drew her to the artistic world of myth and fantasy. Her natural talent and unique imagination have compelled her to create a series of fantasy characters of all sorts, and on to a mystical world of a slightly dark unknown. In her own words, “I love fantasy because it allows me to create a world of my own. It defies logic and can be turned into anything, with endless possibilities.”

Courtney finds inspiration from the darker aspects of storytelling and mystery, which inspired her to begin writing about her imaginative adventures as well. “I love things that make you look twice,” she says. “Fantasy can be strange and eerie. There are no rules, which is what makes it beautiful.” You can find more about Courtney Leigh and her art at www.CourtneyLeighCreations.com
