Some of her projects at SCAD included working with fellow SCAD team members on animated short films.

Courtney is the daughter of Trish Brewer of Boothbay Harbor and the late Mark A Brewer. Her mother, sisters Katelyn and Meghan, are all very proud of her accomplishments and plans for the future. “She is a beautiful soul, who has embraced life. She will touch the lives of many by telling the story of life, love and hope in her animation of the characters she creates. The best is yet to come,” said her  mother.

In the words of the late great Walter Elias Disney, “ If you can dream it, you can do it.”
