Profile
Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Sophia Herrington is an interdisciplinary printmaker who has recently acquired a Bachelor's of Fine Art from Queen's University. Her work is inspired by the natural world, particularly the themes of growth, transformation, and connection. She incorporates symbols such as roots, plants, and leaves, exploring their metaphorical significance in both personal and universal narratives. Each piece serves as an invitation to pause and reflect on the ways we are all connected.

Residence Plan
Building on experiments from my past work, I aim to expand on my printmaking roots. Inspired by Tokyo, I will create a cohesive series of linocut prints exploring nature's quiet beauty and its relationship with urban life. Through research, observation, and studio-based carving and printing, the project reflects my personal engagement with Tokyo's natural and cultural landscape, with a goal to present my work at the end.
