About The Artist

MILTON L. COURTS III

Born: 27 May 2004 Baltimore, Maryland, USA

Milton Courts' journey is a vibrant tapestry woven with a kaleidoscope of artistic passions and cross-continental adventures. Born in the bustling city of Baltimore, Maryland, his odyssey began with a move to the tropical landscapes of Costa Rica at the tender age of 5, before another shift brought him to the picturesque state of Georgia at 7. From these diverse locales, his creative spirit blossomed, fueled by an unwavering fascination with the arts.

From the age of 6, Milton's fingertips found solace in the strings of the harp, igniting a lifelong love affair with music. As he grew, so did his repertoire, with the bass and guitar becoming his muses as he delved into the realms of rock music, joining a middle school band and crafting melodies that resonated with his soul.

Yet, Milton's artistic journey didn't stop with music. At 16, during the solitude of the pandemic, he discovered a newfound passion for painting. What began as a remedy for boredom soon blossomed into a fervent pursuit of artistic expression. Encouraged by his grandmother's commission of his work, Milton embarked on a voyage of self-discovery through the strokes of his brush, each canvas a testament to his evolving creativity.

But Milton's artistic odyssey was far from over. At 17, he was introduced to the captivating world of photography by a friend. Armed with a DSLR camera, he roamed the world, capturing fleeting moments with the fervor of a cinematographer crafting scenes for the silver screen. Yet, burdened by the weight of his equipment, Milton sought simplicity, turning to disposable cameras and falling headlong into the allure of film photography. His lens became a conduit for storytelling, each snapshot a chapter in the grand narrative of life.

Now nestled in the serene coastal town of Cahuita, Costa Rica, Milton's days are a symphony of creativity. Surrounded by the vibrant hues of the tropics, he paints with the passion of a soul enraptured by the beauty of the world. His melodies drift through the air, intertwining with the whispers of the ocean, as he continues to craft music that speaks to the depths of the human experience. And amidst it all, he dreams and schemes, his mind a cauldron of ideas waiting to be brought to life.

Through his art, Milton seeks not only to inspire others but also to capture the beauty and complexity of this human experience—a testament to the transformative power of creativity in all its forms.
