COURTNEY KINNARE
Courtney Kinnare is an artist and designer based in Brooklyn known for her vibrant mirrored works and functional artistic objects. Without feeling constricted to one medium or art form, she works intuitively to create abstract works of hyper-color palettes observed in the natural world, subconsciously documented throughout her life experiences. Each work is a unique experiment that studies the interaction of color, texture, and light, unveiling itself as it develops. By recreating and inviting these colors into a space, she hopes to build a stronger affinity towards the unnoticed details in our everyday.
