Hello!

I’m Sophia, a British-Dutch artist and writer based in the beautiful county of Norfolk. I’ve had a deep connection to art from an early age, and after spending several years working in book publishing, I went on to build a career as both a writer and an art tutor. It is a joy to continue exploring my creativity both personally and professionally.

I graduated from Chelsea College of Art and Design in 2007, and later from Wimbledon College of Art in 2011, before completing a Master’s degree in Creative Writing in 2024. Writing holds an important place in my creative practice, as I find that it often inspires my art, and vice versa. Storytelling is inextricably linked to my visual work, with ideas moving back and forth between my written and visual worlds.
  
Beyond the depths of my imagination, my work is influenced by the trees, seas and all that dwell within the natural world. Nature is a central part of my art, and I draw much inspiration from the landscapes of Norfolk, so you’ll often find my paintings filled with wildlife, plants and a little bit of magic. Through my work, I hope to inspire a sense of love and beauty, offering a chance to unwind from the digital world and the stresses of everyday life. 

Art should feel like an escape, a moment of pure solitude.
