The Art Educator
The Artist
Courtland Mead is a contemporary figurative painter from Kentucky and transplanted to Maryland. Mead invites us to partake in an allegorical world filled with invigorating paranoia that illustrates a Fox Hunts that depict an alternate reality which highlights the terrors of the female experience. Her illustratively fluid paintings are an experience of visual and mental disruption that intrigue and titillate the imagination. Mead’s use of organic shapes and circumfluous paint application in hopes of triggering a response of alleviated anxiety from her viewers. Mead’s love for painting as a medium began in 2009 and continues as her primary medium in her practice. Mead currently holds a Bachelor in Fine Arts with a focus in 2D design from the University of Louisville. As well as a Master in Art Education from the Eastern Kentucky University. She now practices and teaches in Maryland.
