Colleen Thompson

I am an artist and photographer specializing in painting from my photography. I graduated from The Atlanta College of Art (now SCAD) in 1985 with a BFA in Photography and Graphic Design. Although I've been drawing since a little girl, I didn't start painting until later in life. I took a watercolor workshop in 2007 and fell in love with painting. I learned Acrylics in 2016 and just recently started painting in oil. I teach beginning painting and drawing skills as well as a monthly "Paint your Pet Portrait" workshop where I sketch my student's pets on the canvas and walk them through a basic step-by-step process. I am currently working on a body of work to apply for gallery representation as well as commissions.
