Artist Spotlight : S. Thornton

Artist Statement :

'Art, expression and creativeness have always been at the forefront of

my creative endeavors. Being able to speak without words but through a medium

is extremely powerful. I create art that exhausts your eyes and challenges the spirit.  

A mixture of raw and real combining sketches, collage work and painting

 techniques all on the same surface- the blank canvas. 

Juxtaposing pop art with everyday human opinions, and emotional responses to events, 

struggles and controversial topics lures the onlooker into my realm. Sometimes,

I never know what will transpire until I stand back and allow the canvas to speak to me. 

Using mix media gives a left filled attempt at a viewers interpretation of “Art”

which is what I strive to do. Essentially, I do what soothes my soul

and that is to create.'
