Courtney Hopkins – Designer

Courtney is a nature-inspired illustrator with 10 years experience. Her work inspires wonder and delight in the wild beauty of nature.

Overview

I am a fine artist and illustrator specializing in designs that celebrate the natural world. From botanicals to landscapes, my illustrations have been featured on wine labels, apparel, maps, web graphics, murals, and book covers. My style of work can be characterized as highly detailed and realistic and I use many different mediums to create a variety of effects from elegant black and white line-work to subjects bursting off of the page with vibrant color.


I love collaborating with individuals and businesses alike to create unique, one-of-a-kind illustrations that transform and elevate their creative projects. With 10 years experience working professionally with clients, I am no stranger to working iteratively with a detail-oriented approach. I can't wait to hear all about your next project and work with you to make it shine!

Convoy

May, 2013 — Aug, 2021 (over 8 years)

At Convoy, I worked with a small, close knit team where collaboration, constructive critique, and iteration were what helped us stand apart, handling numerous projects in parallel. As an agency, we worked for large and small companies alike ranging from healthcare, universities, restaurants, breweries, wineries, law firms, and non-profit organizations. My illustration experience there ranged from wine labels for Stinson Vineyards, custom environmental maps to encourage community engagement with public parks for Wildrock, beer label mockups for local breweries, promotional posters, web graphics, and varietal stickers for honey labels.

Courtney was wonderful to work with! She took my vision and created a beautiful piece of artwork for my book cover. I truly appreciated her attention to detail, quick responses to my questions, and friendly customer service. She was polite, expedited my request in a timely manner, and will be my go-to professional for any future projects I have that require a nature artist.
