Sophie’s Summer 🌞

76 x 91cm, mixed media on canvas.

This piece was such a special one to create a layered memory map built from the details that make Sophie, Sophie. Every element holds meaning: her road bike, rowing oars, palm trees, fruit, her coffee ritual, crayfish, that lightning bolt tattoo, dahlias… fragments of moments, habits, and things she loves woven together into one visual landscape.

Rather than a single scene, this work moves like memory does, fluid, personal, a little nostalgic. Each symbol acts like a marker, mapping out stories, places, and pieces of identity across the canvas.

A snapshot of a life, translated into colour, texture, and form something to return to, to trace, to remember.
