While she learned the basic concepts of art and design in school, over the years she has taught herself drawing, perspective, oil painting and airbrush techniques.

Thompson attended the prestigious High School of Art & Design and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York.
