I was born in New Zealand and grew up in The Netherlands where I completed my degree in Graphic Design.
After returning to New Zealand to discover my ‘roots’, I loved it so much I decided to stay, eventually settling in the beautiful town of Motueka with my son Milan, partner Peter, and Dusty the dog.
I set up 'Studio Soph’ and since 2015 I’ve been lucky enough to make a living doing what I love the most - creating art.
