Join us as we speak with Courtney Allison Brown, a data visualization artist who focuses on mental health, wellness, and healing based in Richmond, VA. Her primary work to date is a series titled “Emotional Planes," which explores the different emotional states we all experience as we journey through life.

Courtney has tracked and collected the data output from emotions (using cognitive behavioral therapy techniques) over the last 20+ years. Happiness, depression, highs and lows, stress levels, anxiety triggers and more are used to create art to be used not only for self-healing, but also to encourage and enable viewers to leave with more empathy for the human condition than they had prior to being exposed to this body of work. 

Intensity, color, peaks + valleys are intended to enlighten people to visual interpretations of what mental illness feels like... an often invisible illness.

In this episode we talk about everything from art to atheism to intuition. Come on the journey with us! Fair warning, we swear a little in this episode!
