Fernanda Thompson, aka “Nanda,” is an artist with deep local roots and a global impact. Raised on the vibrant beaches of Brazil, Nanda’s art is a celebration of life, expressed through tropical themes, maternal motifs, abstracts, and cityscapes. Her Mother-themed pieces are deeply personal. Born from the discovery that she was adopted as an infant, Nanda‘s art has become a vehicle for exploring her identity and emotions. While she has her preferred themes and mediums to work with, she is very comfortable experimenting with new materials, styles, and engaging in new projects. She loves working with colored pencils, clay, and fiber art as well. Last year she placed 1st on Living Arts, Champagne & Chocolate Wearable Art competition. She has recently completed an illustration work for a children’s book. In F.Thompson’s art, our community finds a voice, a connection, and a vibrant expression of life’s beauty. Whether in her tropical hues or introspective pieces, she’s an artist who touches hearts and enriches our neighborhood.
