Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Khalid Thompson discovered a passion for poetry during high school creative writing classes in. Post-graduation, he sought to challenge his solitary nature via performance outlets such as acting and acoustic guitar. However, there persisted a deep desire within him to find an artistic path more suited to his personality. In the spring of 2006, he moved to Washington, DC. After a serendipitous meeting with a charismatic visual artist from the Ivory Coast, Khalid began to reinvestigate a childhood love of drawing. The steady encouragement of this new friend coupled with a renewed sense of self lead Khalid to explore his own abstract style of art. The creative freedom of improvisational painting was a perfect fit. Since 2008 he has completely devoted himself to painting and drawing.
