About Courtney Crane

I believe we all need more art in our lives, as art captures our souls & if only for a moment propels us towards the sublime. I search for inspiration in the everyday & often find myself fascinated with oft-overlooked details. For me, nature is the premier artist & I find much to aspire to within her diverse landscapes.
