Capturing the arched entries, ornate façades, lush vias, and tree-lined streets of Palm Beach on her colorful canvases has been a vow fulfilled by Sandra Thompson over many decades. Distilled to their essence, her meticulous pen and ink drawings of these same locales show a mastery of draftsmanship and an ability to capture in minute detail all that she observes. Thompson studied art and architecture at the Cooper Union in New York and, after moving to Fort Lauderdale in the early 1960s, became the first ever editorial artist at the Sun Sentinel.
