EMPOWERING FEARLESS WOMEN THROUGH ART

Sophie's passion for painting began at the age of 6, whether it was on the walls of her nursery, doodling in notebooks, or even getting kicked out of class for drawing on her desk. Born in Berlin, Germany, she later moved to the US alone at the age of 16, not speaking any English.

She first settled in Los Angeles, where she has become a renowned visual artist, muralist, and creator of custom sneakers. Her impressive client list includes Steve Aoki, Halle Berry, Clayton Kershaw, Dj Skee, The Bob Marley Estate, the NBA, the Simpsons, and Pizza Hut, among others.

Her artwork has been showcased at prestigious events like Miami Art Basel and LA's Sneakertopia exhibit. Sophie has found her home in Wyoming, where she resides with her pet lizards, and keeps unconventional hours as she also recently ventured into the world of tattooing. She is profoundly influenced by the rugged spirit of the American West.

Her mother affectionately refers to her as a "Freigeist," a German term meaning free spirit, and humorously comments on her aversion to household chores, saying, "Free spirits don't take out the trash."

Newest Interview with Canvas Rebel

People hire me when they want something unique, something custom-made just for them- that’s not mass produced in China, or AI. I can provide them with a pair of sneakers that is hand painted, and that no one else in the world is able to get, no matter how famous you are.
