Sophie Angela

Visual Artist/ Teacher

These have been my two passions since delving on the path of Art Education in 2016. In 2021 I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts in Art Education from the University of South Carolina and have since worked as a Visual Arts teacher at the secondary level.

Alongside my career as a teacher I have dedicated myself to consistently creating personal work. This has led to my involvement in multiple group exhibitions until my first series that resulted from the fast-paced “Lightning Residency” created by the Redux Contemporary Art Center of Charleston for emerging artists.

My work explores themes of contemporary gender inequity through Art-Nouveau aesthetics, tongue-in-cheek commentary on popular culture, and human connection to nature through figures and natural elements.
