Hazel Thomson is a multi-award-winning artist. Her process of painting is almost sculptural, as she purposely adds thick layers of paint and marks with a pallet knife. She then takes away or adds more paint over these marks when dry, as the scene starts to take shape. This gives her work a textual and realist look and feel, so the viewer can be lost momentarily within the scene.

In her work, Hazel sends out a message of not only the beauty of trees but also how important they are to the future of the climate. 

Hazel describes her work as a mixture of realism, contemporary and impressionistic. Her aim is to capture the atmosphere of all 4 seasons, and times of the day in each landscape.  Providing the viewer with a sense of calm and solitude, as though they are physically in the scene.
