Based in Little Elm, Texas, my studio is more than just a workspace, it’s the heart of a creative life shared with my wife, Nicole, and our children, Conrad and baby Vallie. Nicole and I met while studying art at the University of North Texas, and today, we run this practice as a true family business.
Working primarily with acrylic paint, ink, and nib pen, Coursey creates colorful, imaginative characters that often combine painting, drawing, and subtle sculptural elements. His work is influenced by pareidolia, the tendency to see familiar shapes and faces in unexpected places. Hidden characters and details are often worked into his pieces, encouraging viewers to take a closer look and discover something new.
Coursey's love for art began at an early age, inspired by his grandmother, Bernice "Nana" Landrum, a lifelong painter in Abilene, Texas. He also draws inspiration from artists like Ralph Steadman and Shel Silverstein.
Coursey travels the country exhibiting his work at some of the nation's top art festivals, including the Saint Louis Art Fair, Cherry Creek Arts Festival, Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, and Coconut Grove Arts Festival. His work has received multiple awards and found its way into collections around the world. He also shares his creative process and new work with a growing following on social media.
