Artist in Residency:
Sophie Roach
Sophie Roach
Sophie Roach (b.1988) is a self-taught artist and illustrator based in Austin, TX. She discovered her passion for compulsive drawing when she was supposed to be paying attention to lectures at the University of Washington. By using familiar shapes, patterns and her own intuition, Roach has created a unique visual language based on spontaneity and rhythm. Her abstract style is playful yet austere, extremely detailed and often vibrantly colored.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
