Linda Thompson

I'm an abstract artist living in rural western Canada. I’m drawn to the colours and textures around me—trees, sky, weather, all of it. I don’t always know where a painting is going when I start, but I let instinct and mood guide me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I try to capture feeling more than form—light, emotion, energy. Nature really grounds me, and I think that shows in the work. I just hope people feel something when they look at it—maybe a bit of freedom, maybe a sense of being connected to something bigger.

I'm a self-taught artist and artisan living in rural western Canada. I make expressive acrylic paintings and handcrafted wooden pieces—things that come from a love of colour, nature, and working with my hands. I like creating pieces that are both beautiful and useful, whether it’s something for a wall or something you use every day. For me, it’s about making things that feel real, thoughtful, and connected to the world around me.
