She creates her pieces as a way to express her thoughts and thinking -especially when talking, doesn’t feel like it’s enough. Her work is her way of inviting you into her world, even if only a small piece of it, and experiencing it as she does. And although some of her pieces seem to have a softer side to them, getting inspiration from the world around her, much of her work focuses on the every day survival that come from within, as she struggles with Depression and Anxiety. 

Currently, CourtneyDANIELLE resides in Cortland, NY with her husband and family. Having attempted, over the last few years, to help others with their own Depression and Anxiety, with the hope that she might “cure” it one day -for everyone… she found that she was farther from the thriving she had hoped to achieve. For her, every day became more of a struggle than the day before. She is hoping that turning her attention to herself, to her art and authoring, will help her realize her full potential and her true purpose and maybe, if she cannot cure what ails her… she will, for the first time, heal from it.  

"From simplistically styled to powerfully expressive, 

I’ve always been characteristically... Creative!"  -CourtneyDANIELLE
