About The Artist

London-based abstract artist Courtenay Kusitor creates work that explores the vast terrain of human consciousness. Her practice draws on a distinctive blend of impressionist and expressionist approaches, marked by bold colours and intuitive mark-making. With a background in Visual Communication from the University for the Creative Arts (UK), Courtenay’s paintings invite viewers to reflect on awareness, perception, and presence.

A life-changing head and spine trauma in 2013 sparked Courtenay’s obsession with consciousness. Those moments of unconsciousness altered her perception of life and time, inspiring a commitment to living fully in the present. Her work is informed by an ongoing exploration of psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality - themes that fuel her visual storytelling.

Courtenay has exhibited at key art fairs and galleries across London, including The Other Art Fair and Women in Art Fair. Her involvement in local art events reflects her dedication to both her community and the wider cultural landscape.

Internationally, Courtenay is represented by Azart Gallery (New York) and has been featured in Saatchi Art’s Undiscovered Artists to Know. Her work has also received encouragement from Pulitzer Prize-winning art critic Jerry Saltz. Her works are held in private collections in the UK, USA, South Korea, and the UAE.
