Artist Statement

Freedom of expression is conveyed through each brush stroke and torn page to mimic the feeling of dancing like no one is watching, or dancing to your own beat.

Artist Biography

With artworks displayed in numerous group exhibitions, Sophie is transfixed by texture, contrast and dynamism. Her aesthetic is inspired by street art, punk, comic books, steampunk, zines, and the expressive creativity of her young child. Her skills were honed at the Griffith University College of Art and Design through a Bachelor of Visual Communication Design and elective major in Fine Art. Accolades include being named Readers’ Choice of the Big Day Art Award and a Finalist in the Brain Art Competition. Conceptually, Sophie’s work is unified by subtle rebellion against social norms and a beckoning for viewers to choose their own path. Across various mediums, she challenges dominant perspectives around hustle culture, identity, industrialisation and conformity.
