About Me


i am sophie
please add my art page...
i also have an online shop! click the image above :)
# i am a clean freak but if you saw my bedroom right now you'd say otherwise.
# i am a lover not a fighter but if you knew what got to me you'd be thinking otherwise.
# i prefer sun over rain, but the things i do when it rains would make you say otherwise.
# i love the morning and the moment i see bright blue sky through the cracks of my blinds.
# i love the night when the street light seeps in through the very same cracks.
# i love the new people i have found and the way that they think, it has inspired me to think along the same lines as them.
# i love spring time when all the blossoms are blooming and making the trees look heavy.
# i love the fruit trees, the buzz that they send out, when they are pregnant with fresh fruit.
# the middle of winter makes me yearn for the beginning of summer.
# the middle of summer makes me yearn for the beginning of winter. sweating isn't the most attractive thing, but i do like the summer and all that comes with it, gin and lime, lazy sunday afternoons on the deck, feeling the heat of the summer sun.
# even though at times i may hate the cold, i do like the winter and the way it makes you shiver, the way it reminds you that to feel the cold means that you are alive.
May 2007, i am going to Nice, the French Riveria... i won a trip for two through JustJeans... flying business class, staying in the swishest hotel there... etc etc - i don't class myself as lucky, but blessed - it came at just the right moment in my life... i am right back into my art and the trip of a lifetime to the home of famous artist Henri Matisse, comes along and whisks me up in a whirlwind. i am still in shock.
there are so many places on this planet that i want to visit... ravello on the almalfi coast in italy, prague, the maldives, new zealand's south island, madrid and barcelona...the list goes on.
i like hearing stories from other people about their travels, dreams, wants, needs, experiences.
anything is possible.
i am so much happier now that i am back into my art... i love creating.. making a mess with paints and pencils and whatever makes a mark... so please do me a favour and check out my deviant art page by clicking the image below... you won't regret it! promise!
i like happy people that are out to make you smile, i like the type of people that give the gift of influence without expecting anything in return. i love the positive way that some people think, i love people that dream, explore, care and influence. i don't like the type of people that are out to ruin peoples happiness, i don't like negative thinking and try my hardest to avoid it. i just wish peace and healing on those who struggle in this life with being kind and caring and sincere. bad karma is well, bad. i don't believe i've ever experienced it... but i'm sure those who have, certainly feel the sting that it would leave embedded in their chests. good karma is all about speaking the truth and being positive and happy, not draining and sucking the life from anyone and everyone.
we fold up and fly away like paper airplanes, we rub each other's creases and line up each other's angles and we choose the brightest papers and we fly...we could really take our time, we could really get our shapes just right and fly off each other into the night and where we land is out of our hands and so in this way we don't stop, we never stop...
