Chetana Thornton

Each painting is an unravelling, a process of rediscovering, unveiling the emerging form or landscape. They appear to capture a moment of realisation, vocalising her view of life as a series of dream images, arising in the present moment.

The paintings develop as a process of osmosis, drawn from her environment and the small details that patch together to make a physical whole.

Chetana's intention is for her art to be tactile, to engage the senses, to invite exploration and awaken inspiration.

Chetana trained at Brighton Art College and has a particular interest in art as therapy. She now paints full time and her work is exhibited worldwide, as well as being involved in arts therapy programmes for third world charities.
