Sophie Ryan

Sophie Ryan is an emerging artist originally from Bathurst, New South Wales.

Sophie has always had an innate sense of creativity, her artistic journey has been one of exploration and growth, driven by a deep connection to her surroundings and a desire to convey the vitality and movement of the world around her.

Sophie moved to Canberra in 2018 undertaking study at The School of Art and Design at The Australian National University, where she graduated in 2022. Working primarily in painting, Sophie paints a variety of subjects explored through energy in gestural brushstrokes, and a bright colour palette to create a sense of connection to place and emotion. Sophie is currently looking into different ways of representing landscapes through gesture, embodiment, emotion and memory while combining elements of drawing and painting.
