Taylor Swift portrait by Courtney E in Miami

In 2013, I decided to quit my 9 to 5 as a Speech-Language Pathologist, and follow my dream of painting! Although I enjoyed painting my whole life (my first memories of art begin as far back as Preschool..literally!), I put this aside while getting my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. After working a few years, I realized I missed doing what I loved most. I began painting again, quickly gained a following, began exhibiting in galleries and top festivals, and knew I was on the right path. Fast forward to now, where you can find my murals and artwork in hospitals, hotels, schools, restaurants, on storefronts, construction machinery, pillars, buses, parking meters, merchandise, and furniture! I was honored to be the 2026 Miami Marathon artist, creating the artwork for 20,000+ medal ribbons for the runners. I have collaborated with and created art for well known companies and events, such as Swatch, Birkenstock, CitizenM Hotels, Cirque Du Soleil, Rimmel London, LIFEWTR, Dyson, Allergan, El Jimador Tequila, Finlandia Vodka, Sunfest, The Florida Lottery, Teavana Tea, The Miami Heat, The Miami FC, Baptist Children’s Hospital, The Miami Marine Stadium, J.Crew, Pitbull’s New Years Eve Concert, Art Basel, Miami New Times, and Miami Swim Week. I am well known in South Florida for my live paintings where I get to paint during fun events, in front of huge crowds. I am also known for my mobile paint party business, where I come to you and instruct a painting start to finish. Having been born and raised in Miami, I am STRONGLY influenced by the city's vibrant colors (can ya tell?!?), which shines through in my abstract and figurative paintings. The purpose of my creations is to elicit an inspiring and uplifting energy from the viewer. I often hear that my artwork makes people feel genuinely happy- a response I seek in every piece! My work has been seen on The Real Housewives of Orange County, LifeWTR’s national TV commercial, commercials for the Miami FC, Nbc 6 In The Mix, South Florida Live, and more. My art has been published in The Huffington Post, Ocean Drive magazine, The Miami Herald, Coconut Grove Magazine, Brickell Magazine, Blink Art Resource, Miami New times, Luxe Interiors + Design, and many art magazine publications.
