About Sophia
BIO:
Sophia is an abstract artist that resides in Seven Fields / Cranberry, PA.
I grew up drawing dance costumes and wedding dresses, to creating my own little books to share with my family, to crafting tissue paper roses with my mom, and constantly looking forward to every opportunity to use my creative abilities. I LOVED art class in grade school and high school.
However, I was someone who was afraid becoming the "starving artist" and disappointing my parents. I ended up going to college to major in Business Marketing & Management and proceeded to take my career down that path (but deep down, I always had the creative and entrepreneurial spirit in me).
In 2019, I picked up a paint brush and started to paint.
Between 2020 - 2022, It became my own little hobby during covid and a way to pass the time (and the anxiety we all felt). My boyfriend (now fiancé) and I would have painting dates in which I would bring my art supplies over to his apartment.
In 2023, I decided to start my own art Instagram to practice some more and share my work with my friends and family. NOW I'm here, starting my own art business and making my art available for everyone to enjoy in their own space.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
Art has been an immensely therapeutic practice and journey for me. As someone who has struggled to convey internal feelings, I have always been able to find myself and quiet my mind while painting.
My mission as an artist is to evoke an atmosphere of elevated comfort and refinement within the space my work lives. Whether that is a cozy embrace or a living room or the elegant ambiance of a dining room, I want to aspire each environment with the essence of luxury and beauty.
With every brushstroke, I strive to capture the essence of tranquility and sophistication, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world of serene contemplation. My ultimate goal is to create art that not only resonates aesthetically but also connects with the viewers emotions and memories, enriching the lives of those who encounter my art.
