Named for famous cricketer but art called him

Courtney Dougla

Named after West Indies legendary fast bowler Courtney Walsh, award winning artist Courtney Mathium Douglas was supposed to one day be a professional cricketer and it just might have been as he is a die-hard sports fan. But every time he picked up his pencil or paintbrush, magic happened.

“Art is life. Everything we do in life is an art; the way we manage our daily activities, our personality, the way we choose to express ourselves and the way we treat each other,” Courtney posited.

y the age of six, Courtney believed he could create anything he imagined. His boyhood did not only find him driving miniature vehicles, he also made them. He fashioned wooden boats and trucks. Being a wonder at home extended to his classroom among his peers and teachers who quickly picked up on his skills and signed him up for competitions.
