Linda Thompson

Linda studied at Natal College of Art and Design in South Africa between 1976 and 1979. She was voted Top Student in her final year, qualifying with distinction in Textile Design. In 1981, she won the coveted Shell Design Consumer Award for designing five of the ten award winning fabrics. While working as head of a design studio between 1983 and 1989 she was developing her own personal style of watercolor painting and pencil sketching. She later worked as a freelance artist doing commissions in a variety of media. Between 1993 and 1997, Linda worked as a creative textile designer always exploring new techniques resulting in a fresh new look. During this time she set up a gallery where she was able to exhibit her floral watercolor studies and latterly her very popular large acrylic on canvas paintings. Linda has recently settled in Calgary where she continues to explore her creative talents. Linda exhibits annually at the New Image Gallery in Calgary Alberta.
