Courtney | Delightful Art Co

Whatever you do, do it wholeheartedly, as unto the Lord and not unto men. -Colossians 3:23

Meet Courtney Sanford, a dedicated wife and mother who triumphantly homeschooled her three children. With one serving in the Air Force as a dentist with his family in the UK, another with her MBA working in higher education for a Christian university, and the youngest backpacking in Europe having completed a computer science degree at Regent University, Courtney's commitment to their education has yielded remarkable success.

Passionate about nurturing creativity and self-expression, she guides students through captivating art classes, exploring the intersection of imagination and skill. With her background as a graphic designer and experience in studio art, Courtney embarked on a new adventure as an art teacher.

As a multitasking mom, author, artist, teacher, and adventurer, Courtney embodies the spirit of embracing life's opportunities and fostering a love for learning and artistic expression.

Beyond her love for education, Courtney has an insatiable wanderlust. She finds joy in traversing the globe, hosting art retreats, and volunteering at Spiritual Twist Productions: both painting sets, and serving on the board of directors. When time permits, Courtney indulges in spring snow skiing, hiking in exotic locations, and leisurely walks with her dog, Zoey.

Delightful Art Co. was born out of a time when life gave Courtney a handful of lemons, and she creatively transformed those lemons into refreshing lemonade. The Covid shutdown rather forcefully prompted a major shift from in-person art classes to online classes.

With each passing year, the online classes have grown and she is pleased to have teaching and intern opportunities for former students. These positions fill the gap between an artist supporting themselves with their art or freelance design business and she's proud to support and encourage Christian artists with profitable and inspiring opportunities.

In May 2022, she became an adjunct instructor at Bryan College, offering students the opportunity to earn college credit alongside high school fine arts credits through concurrent enrollment. This exciting partnership paves the way for future collaborations and shared opportunities.
