Sophie Corks
My love for travel and discovering new places deeply inspires my art. I grew up in a small farming community in NSW, before venturing to live in Sydney, Paris, and Brighton, UK. Now based in the vibrant country town of Orange with my French husband, Johann, and our two children, Olive and Clémentine, I’m passionate about capturing the essence of regional and rural communities and celebrating the unique charm of regional life through my work.
Colour is at the heart of everything I create—it has the power to evoke emotion and stir up nostalgia. My paintings are designed to make you smile, offering a whimsical glimpse into everyday life with a dash of humour.
In 2023, I was thrilled to be named a finalist for the Jumbled Art Superstar awards and the Regional Landscape Art Prize with Corner Store Gallery in 2024.
