Sofie!

Born Sophie Poulin in 1984, she grew up in Sherbrooke until the age of 25. She finally found refuge in the Outaouais region, where she gave birth to two beautiful children. A self-taught artist, Sophie has always been attracted to aesthetics in all its forms. Beauty attracts her and arouses deep, intense emotions: for her, beauty is a creator of light, a refuge from the harshness of the world. She is convinced that artists are, and always will be, the bearers of hope and wonder for our societies!

At the age of 12, strongly encouraged by her parents, she took a 2-year training course with a local painter. She learned the basics of oil painting. It was to be the beginning of a great love affair! She went on to study at the Cégep de Sherbrooke in Arts and Letters for 1 year, eventually completing her studies in social work. Art will always remain a passion that she will practice in her spare time, until she decides in 2021, after 6 years as a catering entrepreneur, to sell up and devote herself full-time to her art!

Through the exploration of various techniques and mediums, accompanied by artists from near and far, she never stops learning and experimenting! Her work shows the development and emergence of an original aesthetic, a style all her own. Her works take us on a journey to a world of texture and color, a universe as spontaneous and forthright as the artist herself! Sophie wants to make a living from her art and share it with the world! To inspire people to follow their intuition and become the artist of their life, to inspire others in turn! Her heart knows the way, and it's through art that it simply wants to express itself!
