Artist Statement

Courtney Clinton studied classical oil painting at an art school specializing in digital art for the video game industry. Inspired by this experience of the new via the old, she uses an engagement with history to question contemporary culture. 

Since 2020 she has incorporated archival research into her creative process. Clinton takes this research and uses it as a springboard for her own art making practice. Her work creates immersive spaces that are layered and living. 

Her art has been shown across Canada and she is currently artist-in-residence at the Centre d’histoire de Saint-Hyacinthe, a project generously supported by the CALQ.
