About Me

Currently living and working in Salisbury, drawing and painting a lot and trying to take more photos. Some of my paintings and photographs can be seen in my photos section. I am also working at the Oxfam Online Store and helping open the first ever Oxfam gallery, where I will be having the first ever Oxfam exhibition! Check out www.salisburyoxfam.org.uk. I have also set up my website, www.sophieoneill.com , tho currently having some teething problems! New one coming soon....What I'm like:Serious, arty, passionate about most kind of art and design and anything new and exciting. I love concepts of all sorts and am interested in how all this stuff of all different areas of art and design fits together, particularly in relation to the history of art and design...Getting to know me in the evening might be tough, as I am partially deaf, but am looking forward to getting some digital hearing aids at some point!
