“It’s scary to let go, but so liberating to let the painting lead the way and see what happens.”

Biography

Courtney Derrick is a professional oil painter based in Salt Lake City, Utah. She earned her BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Utah in 2002. Before transitioning to painting full-time in 2012, Courtney built a successful career in graphic design. She refined her artistic skills under the mentorship of renowned artists such as John Erickson, Paul Davis, and Randall Lake.

Courtney’s artwork is featured in numerous personal and corporate collections, including The Grand America Hotel, Pallet restaurant, and several Legacy House locations. Her work has been showcased at the Springville Museum of Art, 15th Street Gallery, Bountiful Davis Art Center, Slusser Gallery, Little Bench Art Center in San Diego, and Ramble Gallery.

Her art has also been highlighted in many publications, including Utah Style & DesignFibonacci Fine Arts magazine, Cityhome Collective and Salt Lake Magazine .

“My paintings are an invitation for viewers to find their own connection—whether it’s a feeling, a memory, or something unexpected that speaks to them. I begin with a plan and sense of structure, but as I work, the painting takes over, evolving in ways I can’t predict. It’s a balance between intention and intuition, and I love the adventure that comes from letting the process lead the way”

Courtney approaches life and art with a infectiously jovial attitude. She's happy, and it shows in her work. Those that have visited Pallet are well aware of her talents...every last painting in the place is hers.

I was introduced to Courtney after I had seen an incredible portrait she had painted of Porter Rockwell. I soon after purchased a few of her other landscape pieces for our home and my office. I was fortunate to have her paint two of my great grandfathers portraits. To say I was pleased is an understatement. Courtney is a very gifted artist and has been amazing to work with.
