Dianne Thompson – FINE ART BIOGRAPHY

Member since 2017

Dianne Thompson has been involved with art in some form all her life.  She started drawing at a very young age and learned to paint in art classes as a teenager.  In the early 90’s she took painting classes with Ward Schell and many other successful painters at the Neil Balkwill Centre, and joined the art community through the Prairie Artists Guild shortly after that.  When her kids and work made life too busy, she decided to put away her brushes for a time.  After becoming a Home Stager and seeing the canvases that were flying out of the doors of Retail stores, she decided to add her own large paintings to some of her Staged homes.  She started painting wall and fence Murals, and in the fall of 2017 took 2 workshops from a highly successful Muralist in Flagstaff, AZ – Mural Joe Cornelius.  She was excited to paint a large Mural on the south and west wall of Capital Electric with several of her Guild friends, and has gone on to paint other murals. She is always taking classes and learning from other artists, so from time to time changes her style and subjects.
