Sophie Green is a British artist residing currently in England following the trends of conservation and wildlife art. Nature is something close to her heart as she believes that nature’s brilliant glories enchant individuals and wake up a special bond that has been established way back by the creator. Nature stirs one’s mind with its mystery and makes us reflect on the ability that created it all.
She is an artist specialized in Photorealism, also referred to as superrealism. It is a genre established by American author and art dealer Louis K. Meisel in 1969. Artists usually project pictures onto canvas to permit the photographs to be captured with preciseness and accuracy.
Being a self-taught artist, she spent many years developing her skills, before embarking on a full-time career as a fine artist. Sophie’s art aims to raise awareness and money for important conservational causes and endangered species, a very innovative and thoughtful way to save lives of endangered species and spread awareness.
When asked what is the one thing that makes her feel proud, she adds that she donates 10% of all her profits and the profits of her company, Art Basket, to conservation and wildlife charities. She is a proud member of the Artists for Conservation group and regularly donates artwork and money to help conservational efforts. Sophie takes her inspiration from mother earth which is so beautiful and yet so vulnerable and is often taken for granted every day. She draws inspiration from the natural world, and aims to make a difference before it is too late.
She idolizes Joel Sartore and Cristina Mittermeier since they are advocates for the world conservation. She feels that it is interesting to study the styles and techniques of other artists. However, it would still be authentic for people to discover and develop their own style and passion while they are still in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
Sophie was able to thrive during the recent pandemic, as during this time she was able to hone her skills and create a name for herself as she started to paint more. She displays her works on her Instagram page @sophiegreenfineart.
She was also shortlisted for several awards and won the People’s Choice award in 2020, which she takes great pride in. Her message to the fellow artisans is, “Keep painting, drawing, and sculpting. Even if nobody is buying your art, remain true to your mission and your passion and remind yourself why you are doing it every day. Once you are in alignment in this way, everything else will flow.”
