Tori Thomas

With over 15 years of experience in interior design, Tori draws from her passion for beautifully curated spaces and the natural beauty of rural Mangawhai. Her belief in the power of art within a space is at the heart of her work: “Art is an integral part of a space and the people that inhabit it. It can be a conversation starter, evoke emotion, and act as the finishing touch that brings a space together.”Her pieces are created through gestural expression, an exploration of color and texture, and a careful refinement of form. Her process moves fluidly from loose, expressive strokes to intentional layers, using not only brushes but also any tool within reach that helps to bring her vision to life. Her color palettes are often inspired by specific interior styles, blending her expertise in design with her artistic exploration. Tori works primarily in oil paints but also incorporates pastels, acrylics, spray paint, and oil sticks.
