Aurelia Thompson

Aurelia's love of nature and faith influences her art.

Inspired by God's beautiful creation, she uses her raw talent to bring a

glimmer of that natural wonder to life.

​

Aurelia Thompson is currently living in Riverside County, California. Born

and raised in Southern Poland, art, culture, and music were fundamental

components of her family heritage. Her great-grandfather was an

accomplished painter whose works adorn the walls of several churches and

monasteries in Poland. Artistry is in her blood and comes to her naturally

from within. She often refers to the art she creates as "Art from my Soul"

since it flows out from the depths of her soul without previous formal

training.

​

Aurelia's passion for art started at an early age and blossomed later in her

adult life after becoming a mother and having a successful career as a

registered nurse. Living her passions of being a mom, a nurse, and an artist

makes her feel complete. Creating art brings her peace, joy, and also

recharges her soul. She enjoys painting in vivid colors in hopes to bring a

glimmer of joy and inspiration to others as they form an emotional

connection with her creation. Aurelia is often driven by her faith and

appreciation of nature to find an inspiration for her paintings. She favors

painting portraits, flowers, landscapes, and still-life pieces. Her preferred

medium is oil, although she paints in acrylics and draws with colored

pencils on occasion.

​

Over the years, she has developed into an award-winning artist, often

participating in local art shows, including the Arts Colony in Corona, the

Riverside Art Museum, and Huntington Beach Art Center, California. Her

paintings have been featured in several exhibitions throughout the Inland

Empire and Orange County, including a publication in Inland Empire and

Plexus magazines. She is honored to participate in the annual

internationally juried Art-A-Fair fine art festival in Laguna Beach,

California, and looks forward to many more creative opportunities ahead.
