Every work of art tells a story.

Art and the creative process have always been weaving through my story since I was little - growing up in rural NC. It’s a part of me and a means of communication that crosses any language barrier. It provided healing and comfort in the depths of family tragedy, and inspirational reminders of our rich history here in the south.

I’ve always balanced my art with other creative outlets in business communications, but in 2020 I came back to my first love - to focus on the craft that gives me JOY every day.

We all have creative outlets in our life and healing, and I hope that my art can bring significant reminders of peace, strength and HOPE in the beauty that God surrounds us with everyday. We have so much to be THANKFUL for and meaningful art is a great reminder of that. Feel free to reach out with your ideas for a custom piece of art or shop the site for something that speaks to YOU and your story!

TESTIMONIALS

I’m in love with this painting! The Farmhouse project holds a special place in my Hubs heart so I asked Sophie to capture this beautiful property. He was totally surprised & blown away with his gift! She is incredibly talented, check out her work on her IG @sophie.dare.designs

"Your artwork makes me smile!" 

 "Every single series speaks to my heart in different ways and I still cannot choose a favorite! Your talent is such a gift! I love your heartfelt art."

"Thank you for sharing your gift. I was particularly touched by you taking the time and effort to talk with the young ladies at the summer behavior camp. You encouraged them not only to express themselves through art yet you showed them what that can look like for each of them."

 "I approached Sophia wanting a picture of our children for our 17th anniversary. When the final painting was complete I was so impressed. I have had many people contact me about Sophia's work once they saw my family painting. I can not wait to commission her to paint us a new painting." 

 “Sophie did a custom mermaid piece of my family. Never having met us, going off the questions she asked, she created the most beautiful piece of stunning art I own. Looking at it you would think she spends every waking hr with us. She perfectly described our family and we can’t wait to have her create more masterpieces for our home.” 

 “After being referred by a friend, I asked Sophie to paint a scene on glass for me. She listened, did the research and the finished product exceeded all expectations. She is very talented and easy to work with. I would definitely go back to her for future projects.“
