I’m Sophia Frank, an independent, self-taught artist based in Minneapolis. I began painting in 2020, during the quiet of the COVID lockdown. What started as a way to fill stillness grew into a lasting practice of reflection and creativity.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota, where I focused on relationships, emotion, and human development. I went on to serve in social work settings, during which I gained experiences that have shaped my understanding of empathy, belonging, and the quieter forms of connection that now appear throughout my work.

My paintings center on stillness, memory, and the small moments that hold us. Through soft forms and layered color, I explore how spaces, people, and light carry feeling long after the moment has passed.
