Better known as The Palm Beach Artist, Sandra Thompson is a living legend who has for the rest of time preserved the history of Palm Beach’s European architecture in her over 400 lovingly crafted and detailed portraits of some of the most beautiful homes on Palm Beach, Florida.

Born in NY, she grew up on the North Shore of Long Island and studied art and design at Cooper Union before working with Grey Advertising and Redbook Magazine. She moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1961 and was the first editorial artist for the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun Sentinel. In 1999 she moved to Palm Beach, where she fell in love with the architecture and started painting some of the most well-known locations and buildings. More than 160 of her paintings have been featured on covers of The Palm Beach Real Estate Guide.

Ms. Thompson is the founding owner of the Hangen Thompson Gallery on Palm Beach in Via DeMario off Worth Ave. She won the Next Generation Indie Book Award for Palm Beach, A Retrospective, The Art of Sandra Thompson.
