Barb Thompson, Painting
Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Barb Thompson is an artist who specializes in watercolor & acrylic painting. She loves to study florals and vegetation. She paints from photographs of her own garden and plants, as well as bouquets she curates from local floral shops. Through still life compositions, she strives to capture botanic life as a reflection of emotional memories.
“Plants are a standard in life’s big and small ceremonies. My goal is to produce relatable artwork that inspires remembrance of an experience.”
Growing up in the midwest, Barb has learned to immerse herself in each season and enjoy the botanicals as they bloom and change with the weather. Barb also has a background in graphic design for print applications. She resides in Cedar Rapids with her husband and two children.
