Rainbow graphic by Courtney Lee Designs (2026) Full caption below: I’m so happy to finally announce that I am this year’s poster designer AND a first-time solo vendor for the 30th annual Brockport Arts Festival!!! ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 Being commissioned for the official poster design is a major highlight of my career thus far, and it was MONTHS in the making. In true Courtney Lee Designs style, I embraced my signature colorful aesthetic and psychedelic vibes. The festival hosts a diverse group of local artisans in the heart of Brockport’s downtown. The historic Erie Canal lift bridge is a central landmark that connects motorists, boaters, kayakers, cyclists, and pedestrians to our Main Street businesses all year round, but especially during festival weekend. The bridge is THE integral part of this design. The Brockport Arts Festival is a highly-anticipated annual event that the community always looks forward to; for my art to be cemented in the commemoration of this milestone year is an incredible honor. 🌻💜 Thank you to Kari Pardun, BISCO, the entire festival team, and the Village of Brockport for showing so much love for my work, and for entrusting me with such a monumental project. Signed editions of this 11x17” poster and 4x6” print will be available at my booth during the festival. Look for me at booth 37 outside of the post office on August 8th & 9th from 10am–5pm!

Images of artwork and “Rainbow Realm” art book by Courtney Lee Designs. Full caption below: June 2026: “Superpowers” Exhibition at Stony Point Arts Studio & Gallery 🖼️❤️‍🩹 “This exhibit is not about the fictional heroes of comic books. It is about a much quieter, more resilient kind of strength. The artists featured have faced some of life’s most profound disruptions — medical crises, chronic illness, physical disabilities, deep personal loss... When conventional language failed to capture their experiences, these creators turned to the canvas, the torch, the lens, and the brush. Art-making is a space where suffering can be transformed. Leaning into the creative process is courage. It asks that we look directly at our fractures and view them as spaces where light can enter. Through bold brushstrokes, intricate textures, and unfiltered expressions, these artists have reclaimed their agency, rewritten their narratives, and discovered their own super powers. As you move through this space, we invite you to look closely at the evidence of survival on these walls. These works remind us that while our bodies and hearts are fragile, the human impulse to create remains indestructible.” You can enjoy, learn about, and purchase my work at the gallery 🫶 • “Visual Memoir” (2024) • “Immunity” (2025) • “Limerence” (2026) More to find: • My book, “Rainbow Realm” 🌈📖 • ACEOs, postcards, and prints • “Incantation” (2025) • “Sun Giraffe” (2026) • “Mount Hope Cemetery” (2025) 114 N.

Full caption(s) below: The card reads: “Zachary Elliot Remmel ~ Doodles ~ 4.17.1994 - 9.7.2024 Rochester, New York Zachary was a beloved son, grandson, and big brother. He was everyone's best friend. Nonverbal, and born with Down's Syndrome and diagnosed with Autism at a young age, he lit up every room with his joy from the moment he was born. He loved food and restaurants, movies, bowling, playgrounds, music and dancing, and throwing rocks in water to watch them splash. Zachary, thanks to the services of Finger Lakes Donor Recovery Network and Donate Life NYS, continues to live on with the donation of his liver, kidneys, heart valves, connective tissue, and nerves. He is a true hero to all of the people he's impacted, and especially to his family.” “My big brother, Zachary, became an organ donor when he passed away. He was able to donate his liver, kidneys, heart valves, connective tissue, nerves, and skin. There is some peace in knowing that his legacy continues with his organ recipients…but everyday is a struggle to navigate this world without my main dude and lifelong best friend. I love and miss him so much. I am here to continue sharing his story however I can. Let’s keep raising awareness for the importance and selflessness and courage of becoming an organ donor. 🦋💚💙 Register today at passlifeon.org “ Please consider donating to the fundraiser set up in my brother’s memory, in support of Strong Memorial Hospital’s (Rochester, NY) organ transplant services: https://runsignup.com/walkfordoodles2026 Rochester 5K River Walk Event Link (Facebook) on Sunday, April 19th, 2026 https://facebook.com/events/s/25th-annual-rochester-river-ru/1203281401630624/

“Happy Hannah Montana Day (20th Anniversary)” (2026) by Courtney Lee Designs. Full caption below: “I became a lifelong fan of Miley Cyrus from the day "Hannah Montana" first aired, twenty years ago today. Her music, through every phase of her career since the show’s debut, has been integral and hold so much personal significance throughout some of the darkest and the most beautiful times of my own life. Listening to her latest renditions of “This Is The Life”, “The Climb”, and her new song “Younger You” which were all shown in the 20th anniversary special — tears were flowing by the end of it. There’s a deep ache as I reflect back on the girl I was way back then, and how I’ve gotten to where I am today. Miley Cyrus is a true powerhouse of my generation, breaking molds and staying authentic to her voice and creative identity. She has continued to be the peak example of all that it means to be passionate about your craft, and to work tirelessly… MAKING the opportunities for yourself to change the world through art. Happy Anniversary 💜💛💜💛💜💛”

“Rainbow Realm” ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 art book by Courtney Lee Designs. Self-published in October 2025. Full caption below: There aren’t enough words to describe the rollercoaster of doubt, anxiety, and anticipation that I felt while creating this book. There aren’t enough words to describe the reminiscing, and even the cringing that I did as I dug through all of my old artwork. There aren’t enough words to describe the excitement of all the new work I created in preparation, because I knew the importance of this book carrying that special element of surprise. The creative process was a daily test upon my patience and confidence: “Can I control and time myself correctly to not overshare anything too early? Could I really pull off publishing this book all by myself? Will anyone even care? Is it worth it?” Spoiler Alert: I had NO idea what the hell I was doing! And I STILL don’t! But I made this book happen, and flipping through its pages still gives me butterflies. It’s a sense of pride that is very rare for me to experience. “Rainbow Realm” was a dream come true for me in every way. It fed my soul and healed some deep wounds within me; it was such a thoroughly emotional ride. Now that it’s been out in the world for these past several months, I have still been working hard to get “Rainbow Realm” in front of new and fresh eyes every chance that I get. I implore all of you to take the opportunity to see through my artistic lens, and nurture the artist inside of you when you experience “Rainbow Realm” for yourself.

“Alysa Liu” (2026) fan art portrait by Courtney Lee Designs. Full caption below: “Tuning in to the Olympics the other day was a happy accident. I am in awe that it happened to be my introduction to Alysa Liu. Her obvious passion for skating made me tearful. Her seemingly-effortless movements through the jumps and choreography kept me captivated. Her gleaming joy on and off the ice was palpable. What I’ve learned of her story leading up to the Olympics since she won her gold medal really resonates with me in my own craft. Alysa, on a global stage, epitomized what it means to be an artist in your most authentic, unapologetic form. Absolutely spectacular in every sense. Congratulations.”

A collage of images featuring Janis Joplin, and the original artwork and book by Courtney Lee Designs. Full caption below: “Today, we celebrate Janis Joplin on her birthday 💟 It feels like the perfect time to share more about her influence on my art; the raw power of her voice, her reflective lyrics, her transcendent impact on music across generations, her full yet extremely short-lived rollercoaster of a life. I’m so grateful that my grandparents raised me on her music. For years now, she has been a regular presence through my own workflow. My art embodies a love for vibrant colors and an unconventional style that she also brought to the counterculture movement of her own time. Her electric energy every time she grabbed a microphone was palpable. To bare my soul authentically, and follow in her steps by introducing beauty into a troubled world starved of community and creativity – that’s my goal. 🌈☮️ My most recent original works from 2025 directly inspired by Janis Joplin and her psychedelic custom-painted Porsche can be found in my shop and in my self-published art book "Rainbow Realm". ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷 courtneyleedesigns.com “
