Artist Inspiration: Sofia Arnold

        Sofia Arnold was born in Wisconsin in 1986. She now lives in Boulder, CO. Much of her work is very whimsical and playful feeling. She mostly uses acrylic and oil, but occasionally will use other media as well. I was very drawn to her work for a number of reasons. The stories behind each piece are incredibly and quite amusing to try to interpret. I also really like her style--she combines realistic with very abstract with moderately abstract very well. She also plays around with color, shape, and pattern, especially in her backgrounds.
