Sophie Dalgleish was born in France, where she spent half of her life in the countryside. After moving to London, she studied Interior Design at the London Design School, undertaking several private projects during her time there.

Arriving in Australia 5 years ago, these experiences have contributed to Sophie's fascination with the Australian landscape. Her response to the country has focused on the observation of nature and its different interpretations. Her last two series show a sophisticated use of colour, informed partly by her design background and a highly developed visual and technical ability to translate the Australian landscape onto canvas. Sophie is currently working on a new body of landscapes which are inspired by views of different sceneries, captured during her travel in the NSW countryside, such as Razorback Mountains and Kangaroo valley, and also the land seen from the sea, as well as

clouds. This time, the landscapes are executed following the principle of glazing, so the result is subtle and soft, conveying a very atmospheric and sometimes romantic interpretation of nature.
