Wyanne Thompson

Wyanne is a contemporary abstract painter known for large-scale works created on raw canvas. She has been a full-time artist for over three decades, with paintings held in private and corporate collections all over the world.

In 2013, Wyanne was diagnosed with Stage IV head and neck cancer and underwent extensive surgery and treatment that permanently altered her ability to speak and swallow. That experience reshaped her relationship to communication and reinforced painting as her most direct and fluent language — a way of honoring and celebrating life and presence.

Wyanne lives and works outside Atlanta, surrounded by the quiet rhythms of the countryside, where she continues to create paintings that communicate through color, energy, and feeling.
