Welcome! I'm Courtney Braun.
     Do you vividly see a whole movie in your head when reading a book or listening to a song? Growing up, I found myself sometimes staring into space captivated by my active imagination. I rarely went a day without either playing dress up, going on adventures searching for creatures (real and imaginary), or furiously scribbling with a pencil in one hand and gluing crafts together with the other. My imagination continued to grow as my backyard adventures shifted into a fascination with literature and mythology expanding into the world of art, history, and movies.
     I dove deep into the creative process developing characters and worlds with stories of their own. Wanting to be like the artists and authors I admired, I began taking classes, and alongside personal exploration I started my journey to becoming a trained artist and storyteller.
     As an illustrator I’m working one-on-one with my clients to turn their spectacular imaginations into reality. I love listening to everyone's ideas and problem solving on how to enhance them visually. I’ve witnessed stories and characters change lives in personal, deep, and profound ways. Our creativity makes essential impacts on the world. I am working on contributing to that effort of enriching lives with art and entertainment and hope to inspire others to do the same.
     When I'm not illustrating, I'm out working as a part-time bridal stylist, exploring nature, checking another book off my reading list, sneaking in a quick workout at the gym, or daydreaming about traveling out west to visit various American National Parks and eventually overseas to Europe!
