SOPHIE MESS

Sophie has taken a pretty squiggly path to get where she is now, didn’t go to art school, and didn’t grow up painting graffiti. Eventually she went to uni (to study a non arty subject) only to quit three weeks later as the pull towards creating art was just too strong! After a few more squiggles and trips to different corners of the world, Sophie spent five years in London learning from some of the best artists in the country, honing her skills and working in the mural industry as an artist and project manager, painting murals for clients such as Burberry to Microsoft. 

Now following her own truth, she creates vibrant botanical inspired artworks, and seeks to bring the joy of nature into her work in a playful way, inviting the imagination wonder.

Based between London and the countryside of Devon, she travels to wherever her art takes her, and has worked in Italy, Sweden, Austria, Brazil and Kenya
