Sofia Hardy
Sofia is an Artist, Poet, Visionary and Dreamer. Her art and her writings are informed and shaped by her poets soul and her visionary dreams. Her stories have great honesty, gentle wisdom and a tremendous emotional dynamism that will rock your socks off. (Not my words, but I couldn't put it better).
As an Artist, she is a bit of a shaman, whether it be portraits, landscapes, flowers or still life, she sees with clarity and honesty and reveals something of the essential truth and reality of her subjects. She paints with tremendous skill, borne of over 50 years experience, 50 years of great personal challenge and change which has enabled her to fully explore the further reaches of her own unique creativity.
As well as the spiritual dimension to Sofia's work, her paintings also have a poetic and lyrical beauty that are an utter delight. A new change in direction recently has seen her explore an unusual range of materials that give her paintings both a beautiful texture and also a brilliance, like sunlight or moonlight on water, that shimmers and changes as you look. These qualities make her paintings extraordinarily vibrant and alive.
