About
Hey, I’m Sophie Knight-Crow and Thanks for visiting my website.
I’m trained in Fine Art and graduated with a first from Croydon School of Art. I have exhibited at the Mall Galleries in London and taken part in many pop-up exhibitions with ArtHouse Galleries and The Stockroom Society. I'm a Committee Member of Banstead Art Group and a member of Epsom and Ewell Art Group. Alongside being an Artist, I also work at Pullingers Art Shop in Epsom.
Having worked in an art shop for many years my artistic practice is heavily based on experimentation with different materials, Some of my current subject matters include the universe, Nature, concepts of the uncanny, the theatrical and Music.
I’m currently working on a series of liquid art panels using Pébéo mixed media products. It is a fascinating process, as the outcome cannot always be predicted. The paint takes on a life of its own and creates truly unique designs.
I enjoy working on unusual surfaces and currently working on ‘The Vinyl Collection’ an ongoing series of pop art inspired portraits, painted on to vinyl records that are damaged and can no longer be played.
I also have an interest in miniature painting and take part in a monthly painting challenge called Miniature May, creating a small painting each day from a provided prompt word. From one extreme to the other, I have also worked as a Scenic Artist for Top Cat Productions creating backdrops for local Theatres.
