Born in Claremont, Ontario in 1877, Thomson studied at the Chatham Commercial School from 1899 to 1901, and traveled to Seattle to study photoengraving from 1901 to 1904, returning to Toronto in 1905. He was otherwise a self-taught artist, but gained much knowledge through his association with the members of Group of Seven, who he met in Toronto through the Arts and Letters Club and while working at commercial art firms Grip Ltd. and Rous and Mann Ltd. Long after his death, his work left a lasting and significant impression on the Group, with whom he shared a deep appreciation for the rugged natural beauty of the wild landscape of the Ontario north.
