“THE KISS OF THE UNIVERSE”
“I met Sophie during a very difficult, life-changing event. A time where I had overwhelming emotions and thoughts, and could not find a way to release. Sophie is a gentle, caring person and an amazingly talented artist who helped me express things through her guidance and kindness. She helped me learn how to let what I was feeling through painting. I am so blessed and grateful for you Sophie and for the beautiful place you have created for self-expression.”

“The class was a fun, relaxing journey of self-discovery. It was like a guided meditation, interspersed with practical instruction in painting technique. It was a truly unique experience, unlike anything I have ever done. Sophie is a patient, encouraging teacher. I highly recommend this class experience to anyone, no matter their level of art expertise.”

“Knowing only a little bit about intuitive painting, I wanted to know more about the process; as I knew it was more about that than making a “perfect” painting. What I didn’t know was how much the process would take me deeper into my heart and emotions. When I look at the painting now, I feel a deeper connection to it. Painting this way also made me feel less judgmental about the piece and frankly, myself.”

“Attending the class was a profound and incredibly moving experience. I’m no artist and this is not a learn-to-paint class. This was an inner journey of discovery, growth and recovery.”

“Initially I was scared about painting the blank canvas. Sophie led us through a wonderful process of discovery, layering, and play that resulted in creating very personal (and beautiful) expressions that were fun, inspiring, and satisfying.”

“It was BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING and AWESOME and POWERFUL and CONNECTING!
Not enough words from a girl who used to describe herself as not being able to draw. WOW.”

“Your warm, approachable style creates a welcoming space, and encourages me to get out of my head and tap into my feelings. [The class] helped me connect with and accept the growth I’ve achieved. It also gave me hope and courage to keep traveling the path to wholeness.”

“I did not know what to expect from the class as my expression is typically via writing. I was surprised as I started to paint that I could connect with inner feelings. I was able to express my struggles and reflect on the message my art gave me. I first judged my work in a negative light and then saw that what came out was a message of peace. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is struggling on their life’s path.”
