HUGH THOMPSON
Prolific visual artist and musician Hugh Thompson was born in Armagh, Ireland, and immigrated to Canada in 1974. Thompson studied Fine Art privately under Amanda Traversari in Belfast and has been painting for over 35 years. He paints the land and sky in Ireland, Canada, America, and Europe, enjoying the Great Salon style of exhibition. Combining classical and impressionist styles, Hugh sketches watercolours in the field and larger works are done using oils in the studio.

As an adjunct Professor at the University of Waterloo, Hugh teaches drawing classes to architecture students. He is the President of Cambridge Towel; a premiere design and colour home furnishings company operating in Canada and across the world.
