Hazel Thomson

Hazel Thomson is a multi-award-winning artist. Her process of painting is almost sculptural, as she purposely adds thick layers of paint and marks with a pallet knife. She then takes away or adds more paint over these marks when dry, as the scene starts to take shape. This gives her work a textual and realist look and feel, so the viewer can be lost momentarily within the scene. In her work Hazel sends out a message of not only the beauty of trees, but also how important they are to the future of the climate.

Superb. Very accomplished artist; you are drawn into her work. I have noticed that people looking on these paintings inhale deeply; like they were there. Like they could breathe in the fresh air the paintings exude.
