Courtney V. Cusack is both an artist and writer that can be found wandering purposely through the streets of Chicago, pen in one hand and paintbrush in the other. Her hobbies include rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender and constantly throwing her cash at Devil Dawgs for their ridiculously good but lamentably expensive strawberry banana milkshakes. Courtney has been published for first place in poetry for the GAEL Literary Contest and has won a silver key and two honorable mentions in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. She is a freshman at Columbia College Chicago.
