About the Artist

Sophie graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She specializes in traditional and digital illustration, but she also enjoys dabbling in crafts such as book binding. Her work is largely inspired by nature, animals, travel, people, culture, her own life experiences, and anything cute. She loves to use pastel colors to give her drawings a light, whimsical feel.

Sophie has received several awards for her art, including the Grand Prize for the Calpico Design Contest. Her winning illustration was featured as a limited edition design for the packaging of their new melon flavored drink. Most recently, she was recognized as a National Finalist for the Red Bull Doodle Art Contest, and her illustration was on display at The Whitney Museum of American Art in Manhattan. She has always been an avid doodler, and she was thrilled that the long hours she spent doodling during her high school classes finally paid off.

When she is not creating art herself, Sophie loves to spend her free time watching “sketchbook tour” YouTube videos by her favorite artists. She admires all forms of art, and began taking dance and circus classes as an adult. She is interested in blending the worlds of performing arts and visual arts together. Her other hobbies include reading, writing, pole dancing, indoor rock climbing, napping, and cuddling with cats.
