SADIE THOMPSON

   I am an artist based currently in the Toowoomba, Australia. I am originally from Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas.

Though I have been drawing since before I could talk, I began my career

in photorealism at 12 years old. I began taking lessons and entered

my first art show with ArtLoveMagic that summer. Since then my

passion has grown exponentially.

 

  I draw mainly portraits. People and faces endlessly fascinate me.

I love stories; both hearing and telling them. Most of my pieces have a

story behind them which I can tell you. If I meet you at an event,

go ahead and ask me and I will tell you the story of the

beautiful person in the drawing.

 

  Photorealism is the art of recreation. I make the drawing look as

exactly as the photo as I can. I do commissions and orders, of which

I draw precisely as I see it. For this reason, I love to partner with

photographers who are just as passionate about telling stories.

 

   I have been a part of multiple organizations and galleries.

ArtLoveMagic was a huge player in the beginning of my career

and still is today. I have held booths at Fort Worth Main St. Arts Festival

for 4 years. Click here to find out more. 

 

   In 2015, I gave a TEDx talk as a fine artist on the importance of

pursuing your passions now, rather than later. You can watch it here. 

​

   As of June 2018, I am living in Queensland, Australia staffing with YWAM, a Christian ministry organization. All of the funds provided through commissions and orders go towards funding my work on this base as a missionary. You can read more about what I'm doing here.
