Born in 1961, Sophie studied Fine Art at London’s Wimbledon College of Art where she obtained a BA Hons Degree and has been a full time painter ever since. Her vibrant paintings full of colour and life in oil or watercolour have been enormously influenced by her extensive travels, particularly in the Middle East and East African. Whether riding camels in Sudan or painting fisherman in Lamu, Sophie celebrates the stunning vistas and shimmering heat.
