About Sophia

 

Sophia uses watercolour to paint landscapes, capturing atmosphere through light, colour, and pattern.

She completed her degree at Brighton and her MA at Wimbledon both in fine art printmaking.

She lives in Oxfordshire, and now uses watercolour: painting landscapes, looking for particular conditions of light that can give a sense of fleeting luminous magic, when light conditions are aligned with colours and shapes of the landscape in a way that makes you hold your breath at the momentary beauty of the scene.

As well as magic, she seeks to convey a sense of contemplative space, of places where one can be alone and yet feel a primal sense of connection and of belonging. Her paintings contain a meditative calm, a pictorial essence of the restorative peace and the safe-ness that can be found within landscape.

  1. Have just had a smooch around your lovely online gallery. Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous. I would love to have a look at the real deal next time I visit.

  2. Your influences have served you well. You have charm, a sense of magic and peaceful rawness a fluency with colour. Snapshots that make me want to be there with the wind in my hair too. Well done Soph!
