Sophie helps us to find what’s essential in us and in our creative practice.
Fiber artist, podcaster, and co-author of the book “Invisible Things,” Sophie Miller shares her creative journey of switching homes and mediums while searching to find and express what’s essentially “her.” Throughout her journey as an artist, Sophie’s creative work has been multi-faceted, but her essential character and the themes she’s explored are timeless. She believes that all of us can access and express our essential selves through intentional inquiry into our creative process— rather than focusing on the outcomes or the medium. When we do this, our work becomes a thread of self-expression that leads us more deeply into our authentic selves and our most creative work.
