Sophie Thompson received a BA in Art History and Anthropology in 2022 and a Master of Information Studies in 2024, both from McGill University. During this time, she gained experience at the Osler Library of the History of Medicine, where she was involved in archival accessioning and preservation projects, and developed a strong interest in rare books and special collections. She then moved to the McGill University Visual Arts Collection, where she directed an overhaul of VAC archival collections arrangement.
Sophie was fortunate to gain pre-program conservation experience with San Gemini Preservation Studies in San Gemini, Italy. She continues to explore her own artistic practice, chiefly in linocut and other printmaking techniques.
