Alexandra Thompson

My work is nature focussed; designed to soothe the soul and enliven the spirit…

A photographer my whole life, as I child all I wanted to do was point my camera at the sky, to capture the abstract beauty of cloud formations and the spectacular light-fill…

You don’t always need to look up however; the omnipresent beauty and abstract delight in natural form is in abundance all around us. We think it’s all abstract of course, but it’s far cleverer than that. There is a truth in nature and a nature to the truth around us.

My joy is in the search for the abstract beauty in the everyday world… and capturing these findings, as one still moment, can be transformational...

Much of my work reflects my fascination with the untamed, wild, yet mysterious qualities of water.
