sophia draws and paints

sophia draws and paints is me.

I post on Instagram every day.

My daily art practice started in March 2020. Interested in exploring the process of art-making whilst firmly of the belief that I couldn't draw OR paint, I embarked on this discipline wholly detached from the folly of expectation, instead focussed on the process of making..

From that foundation I discovered something that has been missing my whole life: a means of self expression, a safe and welcoming playground, a pathway to community and a unique means of experiencing and reflecting the environment and creatures in my orbit.

In 2023 my son and I moved from the suburbs of Melbourne to the forests and farms of Dja Dja Wurrung Country / Hepburn Shire in central Victoria, Australia. Here we have found the space for a full and satisfying life. I have even found the space to spread my love and enthusiasm for art-making with my guided program Art for Expression and a Better Life.

Art for Expression and a Better Life

Guided art making program using watercolour and ink.The focus is on process and experimentation to broaden your skills base and discover your unique creative voice. Suited to all levels this is a joyful space for the curious to play and connect in order to find peace and satisfaction through self expression in the visual arts.
