Summer 2025 Featured Artist

Kati Thomson

Kati Thomson celebrates the human form using color and abstract juxtaposition to highlight the beauty and possibility of the body. After a career in healthcare, Thomson now lives and paints in Clovis, California.

Thomson’s solo show, Golden Hour, debuted at The John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis, Ca, and is currently exhibiting at Sasse Museum of Art in Pomona, Ca.

From the museum exhibition notes:
"In this captivating exhibition, artist Kati Thomson invites us to explore the essence of human experience through a lens of nostalgia and introspection. Drawing inspiration from vintage photography, silent film stills, and personal family albums, Thomson's work captures the vibrancy of life's fleeting moments.

Thomson's paintings transport us to a world where the past and present intertwine, celebrating the unburdened joy of dance, play, work, love, and connection. Her artistic process involves reimagining found photographs and family mementos, breathing new life into forgotten faces and frozen instants.

This exhibition serves as both a celebration of life's golden moments and a playful commentary on our collective tendency to romanticize the past. Thomson's paintings invite us to ponder the nature of memory, the passage of time, and the enduring power of human connection.”
