Sophie Knight



We were invited in to the studio of Sophie Knight, 
a local artist based in Burntisland. 

Sophie is preparing work for a new exhibition 
and asked if she could use Mike as the model for one of her artworks.


Sophie collects images of people as the starting point for her work...


She creates beautiful work through the blurring and layering of 
print, mark-making and painting techniques.

A beautiful space, beautiful artworks and a special person.
Thank you for inviting us into your world Sophie.
