Thompson spent his childhood living on the tiny Channel Island of Herm and that is where he developed a love and respect for the sea. He created his first watercolor of the ship Queen Mary at the tender age of 6. In 1982 he met Ted Turner at a regatta in Cowes, England and Turner commissioned him to paint numerous sailing boats which brought him growing popularity and recognition. Thompson has exhibited his work in the United States, London, Paris, Italy, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, the Vasa Museum in Sweden, Monaco, Brazil, Australia and New Zealand.
