Artwork Description

A lifelong understanding of how to care for the environment begins with the care of a single plant. Through an awareness of what it requires to survive and what, in turn, it gives back to the ecosystem, the microcosm of the garden teaches us the absolute interconnectedness of all things.

The Succulent Studies are a series of meticulously observed oil paintings that capture the form, value, colour, textures and reflections of their subjects in a way which asks us to pause and consider them through a lens of renewed clarity.

In a world perpetually ‘switched on’ to technology and each other, this work honours the tactile and the tangible, the essence of that which surrounds us in the physical world.

Exploring an appreciation for the subtle beauty found in moments of quietude, stillness and reflection, this painting reflects a sense of quietude, calm contemplation and fleeting respite from the stresses of daily life.

This artwork comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Artist Bio

Casey Thornton is a figurative realist oil painter from regional Western Australia, with a keen interest in the techniques used by the old masters. Her keenly observed and highly detailed works aim to capture an authentic representation of the world, and invite a quiet moment of pause, introspection and welcome respite from a constantly ‘switched on’ world.

Thornton studied a Bachelor of Humanities (Fine Art) at Curtin University, and in recent years has studied at The Art Academy in Adelaide. Her artworks are held in private collections across Australia and overseas, and one piece has been selected for inclusion in ‘The Nova Collection’ lunar time capsule.
