Sophy Wollaston
Sophy Wollaston is a painter who celebrates the energy and diversity of both urban and rural landscapes. Her work is a riot of colour and pattern offering a dynamic exploration of the world around us. In the city she finds inspiration in the juxtaposition of man-made with the natural world. She is a keen walker and often returns to her favourite mountains and coastal paths translating these into vibrant paintings.
In addition to her artistic pursuits, Sophy is also a practicing GP in London where she lives and works. She is interested in community art and the power of creativity for mental health. As Artist in Residence on Highgate Allotments she has led activities for children and runs mosaic workshops for NHS staff and vulnerable patients. Through her work she is keen to highlight the wilder and greener spaces vital to the wellbeing of all those living in the urban environment.
