Janmarie Thompson

​

​

Janmarie Thompson has been practising since 2006.  Her most recent solo exhibition “Zealandia” was held in September 2018 at BSA Gallery and she regularly exhibits in group shows in the Auckland area. She was selected as a finalist for the Molly Morpeth Canaday Award in 2017. Her methodology blends aspects of painting, drawing and printmaking and decorative arts and the work evolves in series migrating through a principal idea.  Experimentation with diverse substrates produces unintended outcomes, integral to the works.  Thompson’s work is fueled by a passion for the youthful, exuberance of our landmass and it's surrounding waters

 

In 2017 she set up Studio 6, an artists’ space in the Sunday School Union heritage building on Queen Street, Auckland Central. A bright, versatile studio space that has offered opportunities to conduct artist run initiatives in conjunction with Art Week and White Night among others.  More recently Thompson has joined RATAPrintmakers to focus on varied disciplines within printmaking and at present is working on design concepts for hand printing on textiles

 

Thompson’s works are held in private collections in New Zealand and overseas.
