Courtney Prahl: Layering Stories Through Mixed Media

Courtney Prahl is a Maryland-based mixed media collage artist known for her vibrant use of color and layered compositions. Her signature style blends old and new materials, creating visually engaging works that tell stories through texture and design. With a passion for discovering vintage paper treasures at tag sales and flea markets, Courtney incorporates these unique elements into her art, adding a sense of history and character to each piece.

In addition to her personal practice, Courtney is dedicated to sharing her love of art through teaching. She works with children of all ages at a local art center and community college, nurturing creativity in her community. As the co-founder of the local art charity Lend a Hand, she uses her artistic talents to give back and inspire others.

When not creating or teaching, Courtney enjoys life in Maryland with her husband and two sons, continuously finding inspiration in everyday moments and the beauty of layered stories.
