Sophie Foulkes [2023, Illustration]
Inspired by the vibrant cityscapes of Providence, Rhode Island, and the serene rolling hills of Western Massachusetts; places that have profoundly shaped my artistic journey; I craft fantastical imagery as a means of connecting with others. My creative process balances clarity of space and narrative, with the ambiguity that comes from letting materials flow organically. Printmaking, including monoprinting, screen printing, and risograph printing, has become my ideal medium for exploring this interplay between precision and spontaneity. Narrative and playful, my artwork often draws from personal experiences with natural phenomena. I also enjoy creating whimsical characters that stir imagination and reflect relatable experiences and memories. I strive to capture the emotions and excitement inherent in fleeting moments, transforming them into visual stories meant to be shared. Along with prints, I sell hand-crafted frames and small gifts including cards and puzzles.
