Sophie Pollock

With a background in fine art and a rapidly growing interest in urban design, through my large-scale mural works I hope to continue exploring the ways in which we can nurture imagination and creative exploration within and beyond the built world. Play is essential to the way one feels a sense of wonder and joy within their environment. I aim to evoke feelings of playfulness through bold color use and through the subversion of traditional motifs, such as flowers and eyes. Mural arts have the power to connect people together. They also can encourage the viewer to reflect upon existing infrastructure while empowering them to imagine new realities.

I want to empower folks to dream, wonder, and imagine. Through mural arts we can impact people daily, and I want to be a part of telling a lasting story like that. I love the thrill of painting something large, the collaborative effort and joy in working hands-on to create something meaningful for others.
