Sophie's Art Gallary

I hope you like my art work!

As I create my piece, I often base it off the emotion I feel on that day. If I feel anger, I’ll draw something with vibrant colors and fast brush strokes. If I feel calm and happy, I’ll try to branch out in my creativity more, experimenting with different poses and different contrasts. If I feel lonely, I’ll dull my colors and have less dramatic poses. My art comes from my emotions, and I attempt to convey less of a story and more of a single moment. I enjoy being carefree and drawing sudden pieces that seem to pop out. I rarely limit myself to only a few hues or a flat, portrait perspective. In most of my pieces, you can see the brush strokes more clearly the further you stray away from the main subject, and I like to create this sort of sketched, messy effect. This emphasizes the subject more and give the painting a raw edge. My goal is to create something that makes my audience invoke a strong, raw feeling, so I developed my art style to look blunt and vibrant. I use different colorful hues and messy strokes to portray emotions as what they are, without any subtleness.

I have received gold key, silver key, and honorable mentions from the Scholastic Art and Writing Contest.
