About the Artist

"Inspired by the connection between all living things, Sophie’s work is heavily influenced by natural patterns. Her observational paintings began as a study of the organic structure and rhythm of patterns found in earthly forms such as plants and rocks. Her adoration for natural arrangements plays into her beadwork. She fashions pieces from a breadth of semi-precious stone, shells, and an assortment of ceramic and glass beads into nature-inspired collections of jewelry. Oscillating between oil painting and beaded jewelry, her art practice has evolved to explore beads as her primary muse.”
