Credentials

Featured in gallery curations
Works on commission

Emily Thornton works in painting and textile, bringing her Paris-trained, Swedish-rooted background into vivid, large-scale portraits. She masterfully wields bold color in both wool and paint, creating exaggerated yet familiar fictive figures through instinctive, unfiltered techniques that celebrate quirks and contradictions. Her work radiates humor, discomfort, beauty, and longing, inviting viewers to reflect on identity and vulnerability.
