Courtney Lee Designs

Courtney Lee Designs is the brand of solo, Rochester-native, anti-A.I., late-millennial digital artist and self-published author Courtney Lee Hill. She is a self-proclaimed rainbow specialist, creating colorful and trippy vibes reminiscent of wacky post-modernism, Lisa Frank and other iconic art movements of the 90s. Courtney has spent the last decade-plus establishing herself in exhibitions and venues throughout the greater Rochester area and beyond. Courtney was the first digital artist to ever be accepted into Brockport Artists’ Guild in 2022. She was also featured in a Rochester-based publication titled Flower Power Magazine in 2023. In October 2025, Courtney self-published her art book, Rainbow Realm. She hosted her first solo art exhibition at Seymour Library in Brockport in January 2026. She was the official poster designer for the August 2026 annual Brockport Arts Festival. Courtney sells her original works, prints and collectible art cards, bundles / mystery packs, and her book “Rainbow Realm” on her website. You can find her work throughout the city at different businesses and events.
