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.
His multidisciplinary practice combines drawing, painting, and sculptural surface building, often constructing his own panels from wood. Working primarily with acrylic, ink, and nib pen, Coursey creates vibrant, illustrative compositions populated by whimsical, recurring characters with distinct features and dimensional illusions. Blending bold color, hidden linework, and playful visual trickery, his work blurs the boundary between 2D and 3D, inviting close inspection and layered interpretation.
Deeply influenced by his grandmother Bernice “Nana” Landrum, a lifelong painter in Abilene, Texas Coursey’s early exposure to gallery life and landscape painting shaped his creative foundation. Additional inspiration comes from the expressive chaos of Ralph Steadman and the narrative wit of Shel Silverstein.
Coursey has exhibited at premier national art festivals including the Saint Louis Art Fair, Cherry Creek Arts Festival, Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival, and Coconut Grove Arts Festival, where he has earned multiple awards. His work has gained a global following, with collectors across Saudi Arabia, Berlin, Paris, Sydney, and Switzerland. He currently engages with over 150,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares his process, new works, and creative journey.
