Raised with Pencils in Hand
Raised in rural Georgia with pencils in hand as early as her mama can remember, Mandy Thompson has always been an artist at heart. She spent 15 years offering her creativity in the corporate arena before becoming a professional artist.
Healing Through a Return to Art
Mandy returned to art in her mid-30s as a way to work through depression and process her emotions and found abstract art as her medium for expressing emotional concepts.
Mandy’s vibrant and abstract intuitive art is a feast for the eyes with uncommon depth, richness and symbolic perspective. Mandy is gifted at encouraging creativity and healing through art, humor and authentic connection with her community of artists and fans.
