About

Courtney Alan Rossy is a multidisciplinary artist and educator whose practice bridges fine art with academic scholarship. With a B.A. from Boston College, a Masters from Columbia University and over a decade of teaching experience, Alan creates work deeply influenced by art historical traditions while fostering innovative partnerships with museums and arts organizations.

Courtney Alan Rossy transforms her canvases into layered meditations that celebrate humanity and nature through a process of building up and breaking down that mirrors the complexities of life itself.

Working with oil, graphite, and wax, she manipulates surfaces over time through painting, carving, scraping, and drawing in what she describes as "a process of deconstruction and rebuilding, where I allow the work to evolve organically, responding to its rhythm and energy." Her intimate works bear the physical traces of this thoughtful exploration, where each mark becomes part of a larger conversation about connection and resilience.

An educator with deep roots in art history and theory, Courtney brings both intellectual rigor and intuitive response to her studio practice. Her mixed media approach creates richly textured surfaces that invite close examination, revealing layers of decision-making that speak to her belief in art as a path for both external observation and internal discovery. Through organic shapes and careful attention to light and gesture, her work expresses what she calls "an intangible force or energy that moves through all beings," creating pieces that feel both deeply personal and universally resonant.
