Hello!

I’m Sophia, a British-Dutch artist and writer based in the beautiful county of Norfolk. From an early age, I've had a deep connection to art, and even during my career in book publishing and now as a writer, I still take a great deal of pleasure in my artistic pursuits. I graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2007, and later went on to graduate from Wimbledon College of Art in 2011.  More recently, I obtained my masters in creative writing, which holds much significance for me as I find that writing often inspires my art, and vice versa. The two are inextricably linked.  

Beyond the depths of my imagination, my painting and drawing is influenced by a passion for the natural world around me. I have an affectionate love of nature and animals, so you’ll often find me painting landscapes filled with flowers or tiny creatures – I am partial to painting intricate details, so that something new and interesting might catch your eye every time each time you view a piece of my work. My desire is to create pieces that inspire love and beauty, that capture a refreshing freedom away from digital technology and the stress of everyday life. Art should feel like an escape, a moment of pure solitude for the observer.
