Courtney Brooks

Meet Courtney Brooks, an Atlanta-based independent curator, multifaceted visual artist, and founder of Journey of a Black Girl. With over a decade of experience participating in and giving creative direction for interactive art events and curating solo and group exhibitions, she is an avid supporter of all creatives and believes in maximizing her potential and expanding visibility in art careers.

For our ComfiScent collaboration, Courtney has created a candle fragrance called "Radical Flowr," featuring a blend of Orange Blossom, Ozone, Rain, and Linen. Her concept explores acceptance, adjustment, and admiration during life's in-between stages, and encourages taking time to be gentle with oneself and making proper adjustments to get to a place of self-admiration before others.

Courtney's creative vision aligns perfectly with the theme of our candle collaboration, as she wants people to feel colorful, free, and flowing when seeing the art and smelling the candle. The sensory experience of fragrance and ambiance relates to her existing artistic practice as she adjusts to a new stage in her personal and creative space. This project is helping her push past current limitations and explore new avenues of creative expression.
