Tea Party (Framed)

Tea rituals form an important role as a vehicle for human connection. They remind us to be in tune with ourselves and foster shared experiences with others.

The simple act of brewing, sipping and savouring tea invites us to remove ourselves from the chaos of the daily flow of life, providing a sense of comfort and the familiar in an uncertain world.

This piece was selected as a top 20 shortlisted finalist in the inaugural Boynes international emerging artist award, in February 2020.

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.
