Tyndale Arts Week has invited local artist Sophie Ploeg to provide an evening talk about her paintings and inspiration.
Sophie is a Dutch artist based in Thornbury, who specialises in portraiture and drapery. Her paintings of lace show her love of detail and history. As a trained art historian it is no surprise that much of her inspiration comes from art history, especially the Dutch and English 17th century. Sophie will explain and show how art history influences her work, how she got so involved in painting lace, and what her painting process looks like.
She has exhibited her work widely, such as at the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol, the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the National Portrait Gallery, London for the BP Portrait Award and the Pastel Society.
The talk coincides with an exhibition of Sophie's paintings at Kingshill House in Dursley. The exhibition will be open during the evening talk and will continue during the exhibition weekend of Tyndale Arts Week (5, 6 & 7 October 2018).
Doors open to view Sophie's work 7pm. Talk starts at 7:30pm Or stay afterwards, have a drink at the bar, talk to Sophie and look at her work.
