Biography
Linda Thompson 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 personal style of watercolour 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 watercolour studies and her very popular large acrylic on canvas paintings. Linda has recently settled in Victoria where she continues to explore her creative talents.
Linda has been awarded Active status with the Federation of Canadian Artists.
