Lydia Thomson is an artist and teacher. She lives in Southern Vermont and uses the fields and hills surrounding her home on Deer Ridge Farm in Townshend as her primary subject when painting landscapes. She also works with still life, abstract forms, and experiments with whatever comes to hand. Although her work takes many different forms, it all is concerned with ‘finding’. Each foray into art-making begins in the unknown and struggles toward the light.

Lydia has worked for 35 years at River Gallery School in Brattleboro, a non-profit art school founded 50 years ago on the belief that each of us has an inherent desire and ability to be creative. After retiring from her role as Artistic Director she has continued teaching, grateful for the opportunity to work with people exploring their creativity.

She has had solo and group shows in New England and has work in many private collections.
