Courtney Miller Bellairs

US painter and architectural designer Courtney Miller Bellairs has opened over 30 solo and group exhibitions throughout her sustained career. Her education as an architect is reflected in her work, which is organized, structured, and rendered in thrilling color. Dividing her style between oil on canvas, and watercolor and graphite on paper, Bellairs' abstract, geometric creations use bold colors and innovative arrangements to surprise, provoke, and delight viewers.

Courtney Miller Bellairs' conceptual works and paintings explore the relationships between art and architecture and the feelings produced by architecture. Orthographic drawings are important tools for understanding her paintings. Her most notable commission, for the Crown Estate in London, Courtney has exhibited widely in the USA and UK and her pieces are included in private and corporate collections throughout the US, UK, South Africa, Australia and China.
