TGTArt

Tammy Groves Thornton is an artist and author from Memphis, TN, with a burning love for acrylic, watercolor, and graphic art. She set out to change the world with her love and compassion and desire to help make the world a better place. As a child, she loved to paint and create. She loved the use of bright, vibrant colors as they electrified visually and drew you into the stories being told on canvas. Earlier in life, she was drawn to watercolor because of its fluidity and luminosity. Later, a love for bold, rich colors was awakened through the use of acrylics on canvas and it has been a burning love ever since, which is likely why her favorite artist is Romero Britto. His cubist and neo-pop style is bright, colorful and happy. Tammy defines herself as a combination of expressionism and post impressionism, permeated with hints of abstract, to create her own style of art of colorful, joyful expressions. Tammy thinks of her art as a catalyst of change; inspiring and uplifting the spirit and encouraging the heart to love. Her work is comprised of bright colors creating feelings of joy and expressing her love of love. Her work reflects diversity and the embracing of our diversities: race and ethnicity, culture, and social. Her work reflects the beauty in being a woman, embodying strength, confidence, independence, individuality, and love of self. She hopes to inspire young people, especially girls, to see themselves as capable of doing and being anything they choose to be. Her paintbrush is her voice, her visual expression of her thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Her purpose in life is to share her God-given artistry and creativity with the world. She hopes to change the world one work at a time, one heart at a time, one moment at a time, making it a better place than she found it. For more information, please visit www.tammygrovesthornton.com.
