She spent most of her two years in service stationed in Korea. Upon her return she attended nursing school and became a Registered nurse and spent two years in a Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) before deciding that art was her calling. In 1994 Courtney wanted to decorate her garden with a rock into which she would impart (petroglyph) the image of Kokopelli. After a hammer and screwdriver failed she tried an electric drill with masonry bit but again was defeated. She then painted the rock and call it a day! In 1995 she tried her hand at etching glass with etching cream, only to discover that etching cream could not create the deeply carved images she had in mind. She sought professional guidance and was given an article about sandblast etching and a contact for lessons. Armed with two years of research and experimentation Courtney founded EtcArt Studio in 1997. EtchArt specializes in stone etching because stone is directly derived from the earth - is the earth. Stone is alive and imparts an energy unlike any other natural product. Courtney's first piece. Many of the designs EtchArt utilizes are interpretations of the art of ancient indigenous peoples. EtchArt draws on art examples from caves and rock shelters of Europe, Africa, and The Americas and especially to the art of the southwestern Native American Indian. Today EtchArt utilizes many different mediums. You may have your message custom designed using Stone, Glass Blocks, and Ceramic or SaltilloTile. Your message may include your address, name plaques, new birth announcements, pet memorial markers, business logo, or your favorite design. EtchArt Glass Blocks Recently EtchArt Studio began receiving requests for etchings of recognizable Valley mountain ranges such as Pinnacle Peak and Camelback Mountain. At the July wedding of one of the Diamondbacks ball players, a flagstone piece (wedding gift) with the silhouette of Camelback was displayed with positive reactions.
