Courtney Jacobs

Courtney Jacobs is a Mesa, AZ based artist who creates paintings through the use of color, texture, composition, and action. By pushing, scraping, dripping, and throwing the paint she creates a visual history of her own response to these complex, chaotic elements. It is an active process, intermingling various elements (line, splatter, drip, brushstroke, and squiggle) into one final composition. The titles have been invented as a part of this improvisational process and are meant to be spoken aloud by the viewer. She has shown her work in several locations, including the Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum in Mesa, AZ; Studio Seven Arts in Pleasanton, CA; Dennis Rae Fine Art in San Francisco, CA; and Avran Art and Design in Laguna Beach, CA. Her works have been purchased by many independent collectors, and she has been published in both “The Source”, and “Discover Livermore.” She has won several awards, including Best In Show at Abstract Exposure.com. Courtney is also a performing artist, and has starred in many Phoenix area theatre productions. Jacobs received her MFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and is represented by Studio Seven Arts in Pleasanton, CA and Ugallery.com.
