Full Bio

“The Colorado Governors Art Show has, for twenty nine years, been an important show for me and many of my contemporaries. To be honored as a Legacy Artist in this year’s show is the welcome acknowledgement of my life’s work as a fine artist.”

A native of Colorado, Mark Thompson received his B.A. degree in Commercial Art from Colorado State University. After working briefly as a commercial illustrator in Chicago, he returned to Colorado. He taught art for ten years and completed course work toward an M.A. in drawing and painting at the University of Northern Colorado. He turned to his art full time in 1981, working in the media of egg tempera and etching. Mark has received numerous awards from exhibitions over the years, including The American Artist’s Professional League (NY), The Knickerbocker Artists (NY), the Salmagundi Club (NY), The Allied Artists of America (NY), and the Colorado Governor’s Art Show. His paintings were also included in the prestigious Artists of America Show for nine years. Mark has taught a class in egg tempera painting at the Art Student’s League of Denver since its inception in 1987. In 2014, he had a one man retrospective at the Steamboat Art Museum.
