HEY, I’M SOPHIE!
THE ARTIST
I'm a London-based artist who loves playing with colour, shape, and texture across pretty much any medium I can get my hands on—paint, textiles, ceramics, collage, you name it.
My work is all about taking everyday things (flowers, stars, wonky subjects and random objects I spot) and remixing them into bold, playful compositions. I started out doing super serious hyperrealistic portraits and black and white, but quickly realised I'm much happier making playful, colourful and bold art that feels spontaneous and experimental, which are adventurous and open-ended.
This is probably because a lot of my inspiration comes from wandering around without a plan—getting lost in city streets, parks, or wherever my feet take me—and letting those random moments spark ideas, which probably comes from my influence of street photography. I can also be influenced by whatever music I'm obsessed with that week; it's both inspiration and the soundtrack I need to actually get anything done.
As a graduate of Winchester School of Art (2017, First Class in Illustration), my final project explored creativity as a tool for problem-solving, which perhaps provided the underpinning for my open-ended and experimental approach to art today. But regardless of origin, this approach has allowed me to enjoy successful collaborations with musicians such as George Ezra and Pentire, as well as recognition from artists including Mr Doodle, who voted for my winning entry to the Slowdown Blanket Competition (2025).
My works are also sold and represented by Rise Art, Drool, GoodMood Prints and East End Prints, allowing you to find additional works on their websites which may not be available on my site.
While I remain deeply committed to independent projects, I am open to commissions and particularly to any teaching opportunities you may have. So, please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss any projects or opportunities!
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
I'm a London-based photographer whose work is influenced by the greats of street photography—capturing fleeting moments, overlooked details, and the beauty hiding in everyday life.
Thus, my approach is simple and unobtrusive: I only shoot on location because I believe the best moments happen in real environments, not staged settings. I work with natural light, minimal equipment, and let scenes unfold naturally in front of my camera. I'm after those genuine, spontaneous moments—waiting for what Henri Cartier-Bresson called "the decisive moment"—when everything just clicks into place without force, avoiding overly posed shots and/or awkward or stiff-looking images (though I'll obviously guide when needed).
Coming from a fine art background (just like Cartier-Bresson), I see photography through a painter's eye, which shapes how I think about composition, light, colour, and the feel of a scene. I aim to marry documentary realism with fine art sensibility. I'm drawn to Lee Friedlander's playful, complex compositions, Martin Parr's ability to find beauty in the ordinary (even the awkward bits), and the candid energy of photographers like Robert Frank and Matt Stuart. There's also something about Ansel Adams' mastery of light, Sally Mann's raw intimacy, and the use of colour in the work of photographers like Josh Edgoose that deeply resonates with me and influences my approach.
Over the years, I have been lucky enough to photograph weddings, families, artists in their creative spaces, and musicians at work—each project deepening my love for this craft, where I remain committed to producing images that feel spontaneous, authentic, and alive—inviting you to see the extraordinary in your everyday moments.
So if you have any projects in mind, I'd love to hear about them! So get in touch and let's create something beautiful together!
