Thompson says of the exhibit:

"Many of my photographs are an artistic expression of the beauty that I see in nature. I believe nature itself is a work of art and I am always delighted when I can be there to get even a glimpse of it. I find joy, excitement, and challenge in searching for just the right subject and composition. I am in awe of the colors and beauty of the snow covered mountains of Colorado, the many shades of blues in Michigan lakes, and the incredible sunsets of Oklahoma. I am intrigued by wildlife and try to capture it whenever I see it. Whether it is a herd of elk in the Rocky Mountains or an intricately woven spiderweb on the side of my house, I am fascinated by nature in all of it's glory."
