Sophia has always been drawn to abstract art with rich colors and creative arrangements. Her abstractions come from a firm foundation of solid classical training. Pairing down a subject matter to its essence is always a challenge she embraces. Her paintings are predominantly done in watercolor and acrylic. Her dynamic compositions, suffused with color, movement, and texture, capture deep valleys as well as sunshine in life with authenticity.

As an artist, she believes that God has imparted this gift to her. She wants her creativity and artwork to reflect and honor the Creator of the creatives. While making art brings her joy and pleasure, her desire is to create art that conveys beauty, grace, truth, and inspires an uplifting spirit in viewers.

She studied Graphic Design at San Diego State University and Illustration at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Her professional experience includes positions at an advertising agency, a film company, and as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator.

She is also a member of the Santa Barbara Art Association and the Art Council of Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art. She has won numerous awards and has solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums.
