About
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.
