DEBORAH THOMPSON

Lead ArtisanDeborah Thompson received a BFA in fine arts and received classical training in Paris, France at Parsons School of Design. Deborah has created sanctuaries with lush murals and sophisticated wall treatments in thousands of businesses and homes. She is passionate about helping her clients imagine the possibilities of their spaces.
As a fine artist, she primarily works in oils and acrylics and is renowned for her signature island landscape paintings. They evoke timeless Hawaii with a vintage flair, with a particular focus on detailed tropical botanicals. Deborah also creates abstract works and 3-dimensional sculptural plaster murals that call to the natural beauty and wonder of her surroundings. |

Thompson's work has a distinct and recognizable style. It has been sought and acquired by numerous private and public collectors throughout the United States, Asia, and Europe. Deborah's paintings can be found at Genesis Galleries at the Queens Marketplace at Waikoloa.
In 2018 Deborah expanded her professional repertoire and decided that real estate was a natural progression. She is a licensed real estate agent (License #80163) and is a top performing agent at Corcoran Pacific Properties. These two fields enables her to continue as the lead artist with Thompson Art Studios, Inc. and to provide the utmost professional and responsive service to my real estate clients.

Artisan
Isaiah was born and raised right here on the Big Island and spends as much time as he can with his Ohana. He's always looking to learn new things -- anything of interest to him, especially if it's on the ocean or painting. When he's not learning new things, he's out hunting, fishing, and perfecting his gaming skills! Isaiah is also a phenomenal finisher and wood specialist.
