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, and currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Non-fiction at the University of Kings College.​​​

​

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.
