biography

 

Sophie was born in 1975, in Somerset, England.  From 1996 - 1999 she studied Fine Art at Cardiff Art College specializing in sculpture. On completion of her degree, Sophie's interest in paint techniques and surfaces led her to extend her studies with an apprenticeship in finishing techniques, including lacquer work and gilding.

In 2000 Sophie joined the Lucy B. Campbell gallery, London where her portraits of flowers have attracted much attention.  Over the last decade her work has been collected and shown internationally and featured in many publications. 

Sophie lives and works with her husband and print-maker Dan Street in East Sussex, England.
