About Sophie Rae

Sophie Rae is an acrylic painter and graphic designer, born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona; currently based in Boston, MA. She has been painting since before she can remember. 

Sophie primarily prefers to create larger scale works that allow her to question the relationship between her upbringing and the world today. Through overlapping layers of thought, she begins a painting from simply a vision of color and an idea, and continues layering until a conversation of color and phrase forms within each work.  These visual conversations frequently include overlapping themes of love and death, animals and anatomy, and religion and emotion.

Uniting all of these ideas, and often seen throughout her work is her signature skull imagery. Sophie believes the skull is an icon of humanity, vibrancy, and is what connects us all as human beings. Her work’s purpose is to attempt to breath life into this iconically stoic symbol and make sense of humankind. 

Her work has been collected across the United States.
