I BELIEVE IN LOVE
A practicing contemplative theologian, I am a perpetual believer in the goodness of humanity. The world needs more transparency and vulnerability rooted in LOVE. This requires great empathy and courage, and it is the essence of my artistic identity.

ULTRA RARE ART BY INDEPENDENT ACQUIRED SAVANT ARTIST

I am one of the few female Acquired Savant Artists living in the world today. My work has been sold world wide in private collections. For the first time, I’m opening the vault on a few pieces that are in high demand. They will only be available for a limited time with limited prints.

"Thompson is an 'acquired savant,' whose remarkable experience can help shed light on the roots of human creativity. These are ordinary people who have a head injury — typically on the left side of the brain — or stroke, or some other central nervous system incident, and all of a sudden, they have musical or artistic abilities, sometimes at the prodigious level." - Dr. Darold Treffert, MD

TRANSFORMED BY A LIFE CHANGING INJURY
In 2011, my life changed in an instant. Although the injury came with hardship and disability, it also came with profound gifts.

Most importantly, through the lens of synesthesia, I see things in ways few others can. Color is now my primary language and creativity soothes my soul. It is this empowered essence that I pass along to my patrons - just as I learned to SEE by accident, we all have the ability to access this beautiful place in our minds…it’s simply a matter of trusting and letting go.
