Guest Artist Jane Thorn

Jane Thorn is a painter and writer exploring themes of transition, narrative, liminality, light, and reflection. Her deeply diaristic self-portraits are fantasy and science-fiction infused autofiction examining her own body, mortality, and her journey as a transexual woman in the tradition of Frida Kahlo, Paula Rego, and Sasha Gordon, and her moody and personal still-lifes and cityscapes evoke moments of stillness amidst change. Born in Nashville, Jane Thorn has lived in New Orleans, Wuhan, Portland, and Glasgow, and is currently based in Chicago. She holds a JD from Loyola University Chicago School of Law and a Masters in Fine Art Practice from the Glasgow School of Art.
