Today we’re delighted to be catching up with intuitive abstract artist, Mandy Thompson, whom we interviewed on episode  12 of the iCreateDaily Podcast! https://icreatedailypodcast.com/mandy-thompson/

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 other arenas before becoming a professional artist.

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 encourages other’s creativity and healing through her work, which is about so much more than art. In fact, we’ve been calling it ‘Soul Centered Intuitive Art.’ Today, we get to catch up with what Mandy’s been up to!
