Anne Remmer Thompson, born in the Glebe, is a watercolour and acrylic painter. Her style could be called stylized realism, but she embraces abstraction as well. In 1999 she was elected as a permanent member of the prestigious Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour (C.S.P.W.C.), and is Past Regional Director for Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.

As a child she was chosen to study at the National Gallery. Later she studied Art History extensively at Carleton University, oil painting at the Ottawa School of Art, and watercolours with Jack Reid and John Bennett. Her local mentor has been Brodie Shearer and she has attended workshops conducted by Zolton Szabo, Barbara Nechis, and Christopher Schink in the process of developing her own distinctive style.

She is past president of the Ottawa Watercolour Society, of which she is a Fellow and currently an executive advisor: an executive member of Art Lending of Ottawa; and a past president of the Nepean Fine Arts League.

Anne is called upon, annually, to critique paintings for the art associations of Ottawa, Nepean, Kanata, and others of Eastern Ontario.
