Sophie is a New Orleans-based artist currently studying at Benjamin Franklin High School and visual arts at NOCCA who primarily works with acrylic paint, watercolor, and colored pencils.  Sophie has always preferred to use art rather than words, employing her beliefs, feelings, or interests to create. Growing up in both New Orleans, Louisiana and Warsaw, Poland Sophie feels connected to  completely opposite realms of reality that inspire what she creates. Her greatest inspiration stems from nature, memories, and people. Sophie takes great interest in studying people, specifically their feelings and roles in the world. Thinking about and examining what properties the feeling holds and illustrating these feelings allows her to explore emotions on a whole new level. Capturing what words cannot simply express is of utmost importance for Sophie. While the meaning in some of her pieces may be clear, when every viewer can see something different in each of her art pieces, that is what Sophie finds beautiful.
