Courtney Blakemore
Courtney Blakemore graduated from Massey University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts ( Hons )
She is a New Zealand artist paints from the perspective of a mother.
“My work seeks to find a connection between the feelings of loss and chaos that I have experienced as a mother in addition to the overwhelming love and satisfaction. I am rediscovering myself as an artist and individual, someone with a sense of purpose other than that of serving the needs of others. I seek to find beauty in the mundane, order in the chaos and art within the mess of it all.
I want to empower women, and especially mothers to connect with other women, to share experiences authentically and celebrate every success, even if you think they are small.”
