Courtney Renee Scruggs
Hello!
And welcome to my website!
My name is Courtney Renee Scruggs and I am a Davenport based artist located just north of Santa Cruz. I am a graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) where I focused primarily on bronze casting. Although I started out as a painter, I learned several types of printmaking, pastel drawing, watercolors, ceramics, sculpting, woodworking, fabrication, welding, bronze casting, and both abstract and commercial photography. As a sculptor, my intention is to continually combat our perception of the natural world as something to conquer when in reality, we all succumb to decay. Overall, I make my work to be an even-keeled leveling of light and dark; life and death. I am influenced by my connection to my community and the immense depth of inspiration drawn from sailing and the ocean which translates beautifully into my jewelry. I create silver and sea glass jewelry as well as nautical cast silver pieces. Whatknot Studios is a combination of tiny wearable sculptures (jewelry) and intricate functional works such as lanterns, drawer pulls and door knockers.
