Hello!
My name is Sophia Lawrence
I am a visual artist, writer, and Arts educator working in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, NS).
I work primarily in drawing, painting, puppetry, and video. All my creative pursuits are united by a playful and humorous spirit, with the belief that laughter and play can be powerful tools for processing difficult emotions.
I am also a dedicated arts educator and community facilitator. I believe that creativity and art-making are radical actions– tools of resistance. I believe that everyone should have access to space, materials, and support to create.
This philosophy is at the forefront of all of my artistic pursuits.
I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University with a focus on painting, printmaking, and drawing, and am currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Non-fiction at the University of Kings College.
