Marty Thornton is a visual artist and writer.
Born in Galway in the West of Ireland, Thornton initially trained as a painter before crossing over onto celluloid, where he began to present an intense personal vision of his world through the lens of his Cine-camera.
He graduated from The Scottish Film School in 1996 with first class honours. His work has been showcased throughout the UK.
He returned to Ireland to undertake a Masters degree in Screenwriting at Dun Laoighre Institute of Art, Design & Technology in 2001, after which he wrote ‘BLACK MILK’, a feature film in conjunction with Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board. ‘BLACK MILK’ follows two social misfits brought together by chance and united in murder, as they set out on a journey across the heartland of America in search of Paradise.

Throughout this time, Thornton continued to paint & photograph. He has published work with magazines such as SIN, KARNIVAL and CLUBBING.COM. and exhibited work with Artstore, Dublin and Bród & PROJECT06, Galway.
