Artist Statement:
After graduating from college in art over 25 years ago, Cortney Lunt became a full-time mom (eventually having 4 kids) and a very part-time artist. Family has always been her main priority and continues to be, but she is finding much more time for her art as her family has grown up. She loves a variety of subjects, but her overall theme is remembering to take time to appreciate and enjoy the simple joys in life. For many years, she painted mostly with watercolors, but eventually transitioned to oil painting. In 2020, she started taking workshops from artists she admires and, for the last several years, has been working hard to improve. The best thing for her has been developing the habit of regularly painting from life observation. She has found that the more she learns, the more she realizes she doesn’t know, and she loves it all. Recent rewards for her efforts have included acceptance into national shows with the Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society, and National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society, with Awards of Excellence from OPA in 2024 and from NOAPS in 2026. Most recently, she won first place in the studio wet paint competition at the 2026 OPA Convention. She loves sharing the joy that art brings her with others.
