Artist: Sophia Lore | Location: Greer, SC
Greer, SC
I began sketching when I was 6 years old, focusing mostly on observational drawing. Over the years, my passion for art grew, as well as my motivation to refine my craft, often foregoing leisurely activities in favor of dedicating time towards art projects. Prior to moving to Greenville, I did not have the opportunity to take in-person art classes; they were not available locally. To make up for the lack of in-person instruction, I devoted countless hours enrolled in online classes, self-teaching technical skills, practicing observational sketching, and studying art history. My hope is to attend one of the Fine Arts high schools in Greenville.
In the last year, I began to focus my art on exploring the depths and subtleties of humans and nature. My sketches reflect the internal and external struggles and the effects both have on us and the animals that share our environment. My art is ambiguous, offering an opportunity for reflection and interpretation by each viewer.
