My name is Sophia Lawrence (she/they). I am a queer visual artist, writer, and youth-educator working in Kjipuktuk (Halifax, NS).

​I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Mount Allison University with a focus on painting, printmaking, and drawing. ​

​

My creative pursuits are united by a playful and whimsical spirit, often including narrative and text-based elements. I work in painting, printmaking, video, puppetry, and drawing.

 

In addition to my artistic pursuits, I am also a dedicated arts educator. I have a passion for facilitating and community-building. I believe that creativity and art-making are radical actions--

that art is a helpful tool to work through difficult things and to make life more livable. I believe that everyone should have access to space, materials, and support to create.

This philosophy is at the forefront of all of my

art education pursuits.
