This piece captures the feeling of a rejuvenating dip in the sea at dusk. The air is still, the sky is a pinkish, silver and the ocean mirrors this, almost losing its horizon line. It's time to wash off the day.
Artist Bio: From her seaside studio, Sophie is currently exploring a flowing, spherical form in her painting practice. This rounded shape bottles up and compresses the feeling or moment in time that Sophie is trying to convey. Condensed, it can then emanate out to the viewer. Sophie’s days revolve around water. With her three daughters she surfs or swims every day. This connection with water and the cycles in nature, plus a lifelong love of Japanese design, is evident in the markings in her work. Sophie is a self-taught artist who has completed many short courses, including a study of Abstraction at The Byron School of Art in 2017. She has always painted privately but accelerated her painting practice to a daily ritual in 2023 and started selling her pieces.
