OIL PAINTINGS & WATERCOLORS

Blair Thornley has transformed the magic of her illustrations into paintings that showcase her quirky view of the world. Raised on the East Coast, Thornley studied art in Florence Italy and later attended New York’s Parsons School of Design. Her whimsical drawings have appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Atlantic Monthly, Forbes, Ray Gun and other national publications. “My approach to drawing and painting is largely intuitive, rarely planned — although it is based on many years of careful observation. I like to see what I can imply rather than spell out, avoiding literal rendering as much as possible and focusing on emotion, movement, gesture, and attitude.”
