Sophia Heymans

Sophia Heymans (b. 1989, Minneapolis, Minnesota) grew up on a family farm in Central Minnesota with her parents, sister, uncles, aunts and cousins and was homeschooled throughout childhood. She became devoted to art-making from an early age and received a BFA in painting from Rhode Island School of Design in 2012. In her paintings she explores the relationship between the land and humankind, seeking to illuminate the personal, meaningful, and mystical relationship we have with the landscapes we inhabit. Sophia lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
