Wendy Thompson
United Kingdom

I was born in the North of England to a very loving family, a community of hard working industrial people. When times were hard I would always feel the need to hide away and capture my thoughts down on paper. Constantly thinking, finding it hard to sleep, always having my sketch book hidden away and taking it wherever I went, even under my bed, a creative mind at work, I would eventually put these thoughts down on paper, ready for the next day when I would begin to paint.

There is not a day goes by that I don’t put pen, pencil to paper, I like to capture movement, emotion, thoughts, excitement, exhilaration. I now live and work from Gloucestershire, and you will often see me out and about in the Cotswolds with my sketchbook and paints in hand, meeting people from the local villages, discussing various aspects of life and gathering information

Each drawing is sketched on location and reflects the inspiration and excitement that
surrounds my work.
