Caroline Thompson Studio - Oil Painting Artist Bio

About me

After a successful career in banking business development and medical center foundations, I began to paint in 2000. In the beginning, I studied with amazing teachers in Memphis and Boulder, but after a few years, I needed to be on my own. Making mistakes is an excellent teacher. I’m grateful for all the bumps.
