Pursuing a deep-rooted interest in art and design, Sophia completed schooling in fine arts in her native Sweden before immigrating to Canada where she obtained a bachelor’s degree in design at OCAD University.

Evident in her work, Sophia paints expressional abstract fused with realism using a wide array of medium such as watercolour, inks and acrylic. She invites the viewer into the scene in hopes of leaving them lost in their own story.

Sophia paints out of her studio in Unionville, Ontario, her work can be found in private collections as well as galleries and public spaces.

“The Nostalgia series started as an idea about childhood where each motif triggers a wave of memories. These memories, in turn, spin-off and we start to recall friends, crushes, trips and everything in between, safe to say, the memories are endless. We reflect on a time when things felt different and remember those carefree summer breaks. I wanted each piece to serve as a cue card to awaken reminiscences for the viewer and stimulate many conversations and of course laughter. “
