In Focus Podcast
Episode 49
We each exist on many levels simultaneously, with complex relationships and interactions…
Pat Coomey Thornton
Welcome painter Pat Coomey Thornton to In-Focus Podcast Number 49. Pat is one half of a painting power couple!
Her husband, John Havens Thornton is also a painter of note. She holds an MFA from Pius XII Institute Graduate School of Fine Arts, Florence, Italy, and a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art, Boston.
Pat Coomey Thornton taught at the School of the Worcester Art Museum before working at Rhode Island School of Design for 20 years. She has exhibited in galleries and museums in Massachusetts and Rhode Island and her works are in the collections of the Rose Art Museum, at Brandeis University, Paine Webber, and Meditech, as well as in private collections.
Pat works in oils on canvas, and gouache, watercolor, and mixed media on paper, using abstraction to create energy and associations with life. “We each exist on many levels simultaneously, with complex relationships and interactions… I think the many facets of an experience – an individual’s voice, a string of notes, a sudden motion, transitions, and rhythms – are all elements capable of revealing insights about our worlds.”
Listen in on his conversation as The Artist Index’s host, Ron Fortier delves more into Pat’s life, her life and partnership with her painter husband, and her formidable artistic career!
