About
Tiny Pine Art is the studio of illustrator and fine artist, Courtney Hopkins. Rooted near Charlottesville, Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains, Courtney's work inspires wonder and delight in the wild beauty of nature.
About the Artist
Hello and welcome! I'm Courtney, the artist behind Tiny Pine Art. Having spent my entire life living, hiking, and exploring the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia, nature is where I feel most in awe, alive, and at peace.
For me, the practice of making art is a meditative, laser-focused study of the flora, fauna, geology, climate, colors, and textures of a place. In this way, creating art allows me to better explore the world and deepens my appreciation for the places that make it truly unique. My subjects are often flora and fauna found while hiking, botanicals I've grown in my own garden, or landscapes I've had the privilege of experiencing personally.
My style of work can be characterized as highly detailed and realistic, honoring the likeness of the subject. I use many different mediums to create a variety of effects from bold, black and white line-work to florals bursting off of the page with vibrant color.
My Background
A lifelong artist, I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Media Arts and Design which led me to a 10 year career in graphic design and web development. Specializing in designs that celebrate the natural world, I started Tiny Pine Art in 2019 to offer my professional illustration and fine art services to people and businesses alike. From botanicals to landscapes, my illustrations have been featured on wine labels, apparel, maps, web graphics, murals, and book covers.
Art Classes
In 2024, I branched out into art education. Partnering with Let's Get Artsy, I created a series of 3 graphite drawing classes so that I could help others, like you, engage with the natural world in an enriching, more personal way.
I named the business “Tiny Pine” as both an homage to my favorite tree and as a representation of the studio itself; a small, one-woman show. When I’m not making art, you can find me wrangling tomato plants in the garden, curled up watching sci-fi with a pint of ice cream, or exploring the local Virginia countryside with my husband, son, and our dog Maisie.
My Goal as an Artist
Whether its with inspiring artwork that brings the outside in or helping you engage with nature by learning to draw botanicals and landscapes, my goal is to help you create a home that feels like a refuge and a life that is richly connected to nature.
