Sophie Moore
Artist statement
'I am a creative through and through! (If I'm not painting, I'm knitting or sewing or thinking about painting, knitting or sewing) I have always loved drawing and painting, particularly people. At the age of 12 I distinctly remember deciding I wanted to be a fashion designer, and from that moment that was the path I went down.
Through my paintings, I like to create characters, with stories, in a certain place and time. Usually walking the coast or swimming in the ocean or relaxing by the sea. The coast and ocean makes me feel a deep emotion, that I don't feel in any other part of my life. From this feeling, you will see that most of my characters facial expressions are lost in the moment or full of certainty and defiance.
I hope that people feel a connection to a time, place or moment when they see my work.
I love when my art finds a place in someone's home.
